The Tell Tale: A small town, enduring love, a web of secrets

Written by Clare Ashton

Narrated by Lucy Rayner

Snow, secrets, an icy lady of the manor, a vile villain, open fires, and hidden love.

A frosty December and Bethan Griffiths has returned home for Christmas to unwrap secrets. It's the 1970s and she is back in the village of Foel in the Welsh hills to raise her daughter. They arrive to the open arms of her family and the community, but not all is what it seems and Beth isn't home for the reason she pretends either.

Vicious notes start appearing that reveal harsh truths about the village inhabitants, stirring up ancient past, old loves, and the dead. Not even local dignitary, the elegant and aloof Lady Melling who hides in her manor house, is safe from the accusations.

But when Beth receives her notes, they aren't what she expected. Is she being toyed with like the other villagers, or is she being guided to a long-sought truth?

The Tell Tale has been watching and waiting, because there's something queer about the village of Foel.

Reviews for The Tell Tale

[lynild · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I tried listening to the audiobook but the way this narrator reads is extremely annoying. The way they put pressure in the same way in most sentences just sound wrong.

at times an uncomfortable read. but a very well-writen story.
