Spoilers. Liked it very much and will definitely read more by Tey. Ending was a little weak. Brat is okay with being a con man, but won't be privy to Simon's murder of Patrick. He manages to intuit how the murder was pulled off. Patrick didn't drown, he was thrown over a cliff. Then Simon planted the suicide note and the jacket. There is a "return to the scene of the crime scene." Brat jostles Simon over the cliff. Brat survives, Simon dies.
Loose ends. Brat won't b charged with any crime. Eleanor, sister, will now marry Brat. (She felt he wasn't her brother, and those English marry cousins.) Who tutored Brat? No one seems to care. Brat's parentage (mother wanted to be nurse so gave him to orphanage; dad never knew he was alive; both parents dead) was all pretty convenient.
But much to like and the writing is superb
