When 18-year-old Christian Shaw is found dead in an Edinburgh park, the city reels - and the shock only deepens when police charge her best friends, Eliza Lawson and Isobel Smyth, with her murder.
As their trial begins and headlines scream for justice, rumours of bullying spiral into something darker: whispers of rituals, obsession, and a teenage pact gone wrong.
But then the girls take the stand - revealing a chilling defence no one saw coming - and the jury must question everything: the motives, the evidence, even their own judgement.
Who's telling the truth? Who can be trusted?
And what really happened to Christian Shaw?
Let the Witch Trial begin . . .

Recenzii
Audacious, mind-bending, and brilliant. I couldn't read it fast enough!
Harriet Tyce's best book yet. Gripping, original and so very clever. I was captivated by this deliciously twisted thriller. And what an ending! Genius. I loved it!
Daring, different, clever and compulsive, a truly original novel. Delicious.
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.
A legal thriller unlike any you've ever read, this witchy, mind-melting page-turner is Tyce at her whip-smart best.
Brilliantly clever and utterly addictive, I loved it. Courtroom drama at its finest.
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.
Wow. This courtroom drama is not just compulsive, it's unsettling, creepy and clever, the combination leading to a brilliant finish. This book got fully under my skin. I loved it.
Witch Trial is like the lovechild of Alfred Hitchcock and The Crucible. Dark, wry, and slippery underfoot, I adored it!
Tyce creates a swirling miasma of meaning and counter-meaning that 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.
Spell-binding. A Russian doll of a thriller which is infused with cunning and dread. Harriet Tyce is so great at seeing the underbellies of life - of ambition, and justice, and being a teenage girl. This is her best.
Compulsive reading . . . I was totally immersed in the story. One of the best courtroom dramas I've read in a long time.
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.
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.
An unputdownable, twisty legal trial from the queen of the courtroom drama. Spellbinding and sinister. A masterclass in plotting and pace.
So creepy and intriguing, like nothing I've ever read before. The writing just crackles with energy. . .like a fever dream, I was properly gripped. As for the ending, it was so clever, I actually laughed out loud in admiration. So so good.
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.
Clever, propulsive, with a wickedly satisfying twist. Excellent. My favourite Tyce book yet.
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!
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.
Harriet Tyce's masterful courtroom drama is intense, terrifying, and utterly addictive, with a devilish twist in its tail.
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!
Dark, twisty and unrelentingly brilliant. Tyce in top form
Tense, creepy and very, very clever with a genuine jaw-drop of an ending.
Harriet Tyce is truly the queen of plotting and suspense. This is a riveting, rip-roaring ride through a murder trial, which confounds expectations at every turn. I was torn between being desperate to rush straight to the end, and not wanting the story to finish. Simply brilliant.
Will spark a million water-cooler debates! Bold and brave, and eminently readable!
A brilliantly unsettling, utterly original read that had me gripped from the first page.
I loved how Harriet Tyce explored truth, bias and belief, and how easily they can blur under pressure. The ending left me reeling in the best possible way. This is a dark, spellbinding courtroom thriller that had me doubting everything and everyone.
Witch Trial is just spellbinding. A Russian doll of a thriller which is infused with cunning and dread. Harriet Tyce is so great at seeing the underbellies of life - of ambition, and justice, and being a teenage girl. And this is her best.
