Bestselling author and The Traitors icon Harriet Tyce joins us to talk about her latest instant Sunday Times bestseller, Witch Trial, a chilling courtroom thriller she insists is best read with the lights on. Harriet takes us inside the story behind the book, from juries and modern-day witchcraft to the unsettling question at its core: who is really telling the truth?

We explore what draws her to themes of power, truth and deception, the unexpected parallels between fiction and real life, and how her own experiences, from law to reality TV, have shaped her writing.It’s also an honest look at the realities of being a bestselling author: the pressure, the self-doubt, and the process of learning to trust your own voice.
