Tell Tale - by Claire Parkin (Hardcover)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Debbie lives a seemingly ordinary life in Llanfair, a picturesque Welsh village shimmering with prosperity against the backdrop of the 1984 Miners' Strike. With her Holly Hobbie notebook in hand, this eleven-year-old is more than your average resident - she's a keen observer, a silent guard over the comings and goings of her neighbors.

But Debbie's penchant for spying and her habit of stitching tales from overheard conversations lead to more than just schoolyard whispers. When her actions uncover hidden tensions and unveil a series of distressing incidents, it becomes clear that Llanfair's picturesque facade masks a darker reality.

Because in Llanfair, secrets are buried just beneath the surface, and what Debbie has inadvertently stumbled upon could unravel the very fabric of her community.

From a decades-old tragedy to the immediate danger of a potential serial killer on the loose, Debbie takes it upon herself to piece together the mysteries. But even if she uncovers the truth, will anyone believe the village's biggest telltale?
