I read this weeks ago and forgot to blog it so here it is.  (I use this blog to see what I’ve read and when and what I thought of it.) 

From the publisher (because at this point I remember very little): 
Telling Tales is the second book in Ann Cleeves’ Vera Stanhope series – which is now a major TV detective drama starring Brenda Blethyn as Vera.

It has been ten years since Jeanie Long was charged with the murder of fifteen-year-old Abigail Mantel. Now residents of the East Yorkshire village of Elvet are disturbed to hear of new evidence proving Jeanie’s innocence. Abigail’s killer is still at large.

For one young woman, Emma Bennett, the revelation brings back haunting memories of her vibrant best friend – and of that fearful winter’s day when she discovered the body lying cold in a ditch. 

As Inspector Vera Stanhope makes fresh enquiries, tensions begin to mount. But are people afraid of the killer, or of their own guilty pasts?

I may read another one by Cleeves – we’ll see.
