Title

The title of the story, “Tell Me”, reads like an invitation. The words are uttered by Crime Scene Investigator Grace McColl when she invites the teenage girl to talk about her life and offer some information that can help the investigation: “ ‘Hello,’ she said quietly. ‘I’m Grace. I’m going to be taking care of you now. Can you tell me who you are?’ ” (p. 39, ll. 26-27).

As the girl isn’t willing to reveal information about herself, Grace finds it hard to do her job. Furthermore, the words “tell me” are also uttered by the girl, who challenges Grace to show her how well she reads people: “The girl took her hand back and folded her arms, a challenge in her voice. ‘So, go on,’ she goaded. ‘If you’re so clever, you tell me. Who am I?’ ” (p. 41, ll. 10-12).
