Summary
Telling Tales is the second audiobook in Ann Cleeves’ Vera Stanhope series.
They thought she was a murderer. But now she’s a victim...
Ten years ago fifteen-year-old Abigail Mantel was murdered, her cold body discovered lying in a ditch. Her father’s girlfriend was found guilty of the crime. Now, evidence has emerged that proves her innocence and means that Abigail’s killer still roams free.
Abigail’s best friend at the time of the murder has now returned to the East Yorkshire village of Elvet to raise her young family. Shocked by the new revelations, she begins to realize that she didn’t know her friend as well as she thought...
Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope is tasked with uncovering the truth and, as her new inquiries stoke up past secrets the villagers will lie to protect, she must find out which lies will bring her to the killer.
Enjoy more of Vera Stanhope's investigations with The Crow Trap, Hidden Depths and Silent Voices.

Excellent narration and very cleverly written suspense
Janine Birkett narrates so very well. so easy to listen, excellent characterisation. Anne Cleeves writes about every day events, seemingly inconsquential yet at the same time conveying portents of bad things and unspoken peril, I loved it, the suspense was great!

Intriguing
Love Vera on the TV and enjoyed hearing the thoughts of the characters which obviously you don’t get on TV but the description of her is quite bizarre, making her out as a very sad woman and not how I see her in the series.
