About this listen
A stranger enters the inner sanctum of the Ashby family posing as Patrick Ashby, the heir to the family’s sizeable fortune. The stranger, Brat Farrar, has been carefully coached on Patrick’s mannerisms, appearance and every significant detail of Patrick’s early life, up to his 13th year when he disappeared and was thought to have drowned himself. It seems as if Brat is going to pull off this most incredible deception until old secrets emerge that threaten to jeopardise the imposter’s plan and his very life.

An intriguing story with heart and insight
Brat Farrar does not follow a conventional mystery format; instead it makes the impostor the hero in a wonderfully nuanced character portrayal. The members of the Ashby family, in particular the warm-hearted Aunt Bee and Brat's mercurial 'twin' Simon are beautifully drawn, and the reader becomes immersed in the comfortable rural England of a bygone era. As the book nears its climax an increasing air of tension makes it a compelling experience.
Carole Boyd's narration is fabulous, with her calm English voice dispensing Josephine Tey's elegant language with ease. The characters are well differentiated and their emotions clearly shine through.
There are sad events in this book but also a sense of hope, and its effect lingered with me in a way that is rare for any Golden Age mystery. It's a lovely story.

This is a book I remember from my childhood and I still have the hard cover copy. I loved the story and loved hearing it again after all these years. It was beautifully narrated.
