Classic mystery
Brat Farrar
A young man is recruited to impersonate Patrick Ashby, the missing heir to a country estate, because his resemblance to the dead boy seems uncanny. As Brat Farrar learns the family's horses, histories, and private tensions, the deception begins to offer him the belonging he has never had. His growing affection for the Ashbys also makes him determined to discover whether Patrick truly died by suicide years earlier. Suspenseful and emotionally rich, this novel suits readers who enjoy equestrian settings, family secrets, assumed identities, and impostors who become more loyal than the people they deceive.
