Harriet Tyce’s Traitor BookTrail
Harriet Tyce’s Traitor BookTrail
Oh how exciting it is to be following Harriet’s journey in BBC’s The Traitors! A former criminal barrister before coming a thriller/crime writer. What better background could you hope for someone trying to play the traitor game on TV than someone with lots of legal knowledge who kills (fictional) people for a living!
Harriet has written four books and has one coming out in February about a witchtrial of the modern day….now THAT is an exciting premise and believe me, well worth waiting for.
Harriet’s books are set either in Edinburgh or London via Oxford. So, don your best black cloak and take the train from one city to the other where the full extent of the Tyce Traitor BookTrail will be revealed…..
London
The Lies You Told
There could not be a more perfect tagline for this book or the Traitors could there? Set in London, a woman and her daughter flee America and move into a house she has inherited – but there are memories that she would prefer not to dwell on.
Blood Orange
A novel about lying to someone you are living with? Does this remind you of anything?
Just up the road a bit….we come to Oxford for A Lesson in Cruelty – again a good Traitor’s title! – and there are some more Tyce traps to fall into……………..
A Lesson in Cruelty
Set in and around Oxford, the academic setting really shines a light on the contrast between the serious seat of learning and the horrors and murder that are happening in plain sight.
There’s a location called Deadman’s Walk……
Edinburgh next……
It Ends at Midnight
And then there was Edinburgh – very timely as we launch head first into a fine Hogmanay party. Perhaps the best the city has ever seen!! The characters are at a very fine address too for the celebrations. However, when the bells chime midnight, beware…..
Witch Trial
And there is more where that came from. In February, the cloak comes off the new novel – Witch Trial set in Edinburgh- where two girls find themselves at the heart of a modern day witch hunt.
So in other words…..
Harriet knows a lot about the legal system
She has already worn a black cloak in her day to day job ( I imagine 😉
She knows how and why people lie and how to find out the truth
She kills (fictional) people for a living
Never go to a boarding school, court room, island, or indeed party with Harriet Tyce. But follow the Traitor BookTrail to find out just how deliciously devious this woman can be. And let’s celebrate that!
