Witch Trial

A legal thriller unlike any you've ever read, this witchy, mind-melting page-turner is Tyce at her whip-smart best. * Ellery Lloyd *
Absolutely superb - grips like a vice throughout and has a perfect, bold ending that no one will see coming. An utter masterpiece of the murder mystery and the legal thriller genre. * Sophie Hannah *
Witch Trial is like the lovechild of Alfred Hitchcock and The Crucible. Dark, wry, and slippery underfoot, I adored it! * Sarah Pinborough *
Harriet Tyce is a master storyteller unafraid to tackle difficult themes. Supremely plotted, elegantly written and with an ending that will shake you up! An absolute triumph of a book that takes the legal thriller to new heights and which will stay with you for a long time after you've finished it. Best thing I've read this year. * Abir Mukherjee *
Give me witchcraft, a mind spiralling into madness, and questionable narrators any day - just my cup of tea. A brilliant and twisting new novel from Harriet Tyce. I flew through it. * L.V. Matthews *
Cancel all plans because this book is going to grab you by the throat and not let go till you turn the final page. It's a startlingly original courtroom drama story, and a psychologically astute depiction of a man in freefall. Deliciously chilling and like nothing I've ever read. I ate this up. * Chris Bridges *
Clever, propulsive, with a wickedly satisfying twist. Excellent. My favourite Tyce book yet. * C.E. Hulse *
At first sight a legal thriller, Witch Trial is multi-layered and subtle, delving deeply into the intricacies of the relationships between teenage girls and perceptions of female cunning. We are plunged into a world where nothing is as it seems. Brilliant. * Heather Critchlow *
Harriet Tyce's masterful courtroom drama is intense, terrifying, and utterly addictive, with a devilish twist in its tail. * Gilly Macmillan *
Totally original and impossible to put down, Harriet Tyce has shown once again that she is the absolute master of the legal thriller with a twist . . . Brilliant! * G.D. Wright *
I loved this clever book...stunningly written and this may be one of the best endings I've read. Despite being a deliciously dark read, I found myself chuckling in places. Harriet's best book yet! * Nicky Mackay *
I read WITCH TRIAL then I read it again. Compelling, perfectly drawn characters, twisty, and never have I said "Oh My God" out loud at the end of a book and meant it more. * Rachel Wolf *
Dark, twisty and unrelentingly brilliant. Tyce in top form * Femi Kayode *
Tyce creates a swirling miasma of meaning and counter-meaningthat keeps the reader enthralled and tantalised by horrific possibilities, and in its audacious final act, revealing layer beneath confounding layer, Witch Trial pays fitting tribute to the James Hogg classic that inspired it. * Chris Brookmyre *
