2019 book 131

Josephine Tey's Brat Farrar
The only book I’ve read by Tey is the one where the bedridden guy is reading about Richard III, but I saw someone mention this and it looked interesting, so I figured I’d give it a go. It’s about a young man who poses as the long lost heir to a horse breeding family (it's England). But what happened to the little boy he's pretending to be? And will he be found out??? This was a solid story, and while it’s not too hard to solve the mystery parts, the satisfaction is seeing how everything comes together. I enjoyed this a lot, a classic sort of British mystery. A-.
