À propos de cet audio

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

A frosty December, 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 pasts, 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.

This is such an excellent story. I read it when it first came out, then I bought the audiobook because I wanted to hear the Welsh words spoken aloud. (Knowledge of Welsh isn't necessary, but it's such a beautiful language.) I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It's one of those books where I wish I could forget the major plot twists so I can experience it anew, but even knowing, I've enjoyed the story the second and third time around, too.

Excellent Twists and Turns

A well crafted story with complex characters set in a lovely Welsh town. I truly enjoyed the narrator’s Welsh accent.

A sapphic whodunit

Total immersion in these characters and this little Welsh village. Brilliant narration, intriguing mystery set amongst the patriarchal setting of a small village and attitudes of the 70’s. The women are strong and expressive of the realities of this environment. The clarity of their love endures. Highly recommend this book. I listened to this at Christmas time by coincidence. It’s a great Christmas listen Thank you to the author for this.

Powerful and beautiful
