Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Brat Farrar is a mystery novel by Josephine Tey, written in 1949.Brat Farrar is an orphan who has been persuaded to pretend to be Patrick Ashby, the missing heir to the Ashby family, who was presumed to have committed suicide years before. While living with the Ashbys — Patrick's siblings Simon, Eleanor, Jane, and Ruth, and their Aunt Bee — Brat develops suspicions regarding Patrick's disappearance, and begins trying to solve the mystery of what happened to him.In 1986 the novel was adapted by The BBC as a TV miniseries, which was shown under the Mystery! banner in the US; Mark Greenstreet played both Simon and Brat. It was also the inspiration for the 1963 Hammer Horror film Paranoiac.

Always Identical Twins: Actually averted — Patrick and Simon were twins, but not identical. Several people remark on the fact that the returned "Patrick" looks much more like Simon than the young Patrick ever did. The younger twins, Jane and Ruth, are identical (at least physically).

Black Sheep: Alec Loding is the black sheep of the Ledingham family, who gave up all his responsibilities to live a life of dissipation in London (and yet, his sister says, resents his family for no longer being rich enough to mooch off). In the Ashby family, mention is made of Cousin Walter, who was brought low by drink and died a pauper. Walter turns out to be Brat's father.
