Tell Tale: A Wonderfully Dark and Comedic Murder Mystery with Unforgettable Characters at its Heart

How do you catch a serial killer when no-one believes you’re telling the truth?

Wales, 1984.

Llanfair's most notorious busybody, Debbie-Marie Tunstall, has really gone and done it this time. Her snooping and merciless announcements of observations written in her kajagoogoo notebook have gotten her into so much trouble that even her mum can't defend her. She has no choice but to run away.

And then finds herself the sole witness to a murder.

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 tell-tale?

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 . . .
