The locals of this small East Yorkshire village will not escape the thorough questioning of Vera as she scrutinizes them closely for anything that may be amiss. Now Inspector Vera Stanhope is making fresh enquiries. I love the way she draws you in, filling out the stories of all the characters involved, making you hope the murderer isn't your particular favorite, but always managing a whopper of an ending. It was fine. AWESOME!! Jeanie Long was charged with the murder of 15 year-old Abigail Mantel. Excellent character development & lots of suspects. To my mind she didn't have the warmth, humanity that brings the title character to life on the page.Telling Tales is book 2 in the Vera Stanhope series and is just such a great police procedural. I had watched the show that is based on this book [not all the shows are based on the books] and I could not, for the life of me, remember WHO tAfter realizing I'd have to jump through every hoop imaginable to try and get these on audio, I decided to just watch the TV series [with the amazing Brenda Blethyn - the show is marvelous BTW]. And some people fall in love with books about falling in love. By using LibraryThing you acknowledge that you have read and understand our Ten years after Jeanie Long was charged with the murder of fifteen-year-old Abigail Mantel, residents of the East Yorkshire village of Elvet are disturbed to hear of new evidence proving Jeanie's innocence. The ending was very good though and a surprise. That’s basically it in a nutshell. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. It's long and complex, so set aside a winter day and curl up by the fire with endless cups of tea. I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Vera, she appears to be lonely but doesn't tend to outwardly show this side of her much, when she does, she tends to dismiss it straight away. Abigail s killer is still at large. Reading an Ann Cleeves novel feels like a homage to the good old days when crime fiction was populated by distinctive characters and littered with red herrings and blind alleys with the ensuing cracks providing leverage for a skilful detective to decipher the undercurrents. Abigail's killer is still at large. This is certainly a well crafted and solidly delivered police procedural but I didn't quite appreciate the author's "Vera Stanhope" if that makes any sense. Nice! To my mind she didn't have the warmth, humanity that brings the title character to life on the page.Bought this because I'm a huge fan of the TV series and love Brenda Blethyn in the title role of Vera. Her father’s girlfriend, Jeanie Long, was found guilty of the murder, but now new evidence has come to light suggesting that Jeanie might be innocent. Having read the series out of order, I'm happy to say that a lot more is revealed about her, and even Joe, as they become the nucleus of the stories.Telling Tales is the second book in the Vera Stanhope series and I loved this one as much as the first.

The ending really surprised me in this book and although I loved the first book, I think I may have enjoyed this one even slightly better. In this bookI was having a bit of Jimmy Perez withdrawal after finishing the last of the Shetland Quartet, so I decided I needed to try another of Ann Cleeves' series. I had watched the show that is based on this book [not all the shows are based on the books] and I could not, for the life of me, remember WHO the killer was. I started reading it while cooking Thanksgiving dinner and had such a hard time tearing myself away every time I had to stop to tend to some cooking.
