Telling Tales

Ten years after Emma discovered the body of a school friend in a ditch the woman accused of the murder commits suicide in prison. Jeannie Long refused  to admit to the killing of Abigail but it is not until her death is publicised that a witness provides evidence to prove her innocence. Vera Stanhope is then called in to discover any irregularities in the original investigation that led to Jeanie's conviction. Then another body is found in a ditch. Are the two murders related? And if so, who is the murderer?

As Vera investigates the murders she uncovers many long hidden stories about the villagers of Elvit and many possible suspects before the truth is revealed.

Telling Tales is the second book in the Vera Stanhope series by Ann Cleeves. It formed the basis of the second episode of the first season of the television series, Vera.
