Harriet Tyce: Witch Trial

Palace Theatre

Spend the afternoon with The Traitors contestant, and bestselling author Harriet Tyce, talking about her latest book Witch Trial.

Gripping, provocative, and impossible to put down, Witch Trial sees The Traitors contestant Harriet Tyce at her most compelling. A former criminal barrister and bestselling author of Blood Orange, Tyce joins us on stage with her tense new novel exploring truth, trust, and the power of public judgement.

When a murdered classmate casts a long shadow over two teenage girls, a modern-day witch trial ignites, dividing a nation. Who’s telling the truth, and what really happened? In conversation with Dr Tim Rideout.

‘Audacious, mind-bending, and brilliant. I couldn’t read it fast enough!’ LISA JEWELL

‘The absolute master of the legal thriller with a twist!’ G.D. WRIGHT

‘The best thing I’ve read this year. An absolute triumph of a book.’ ABIR MUKHERJEE
