Harriet Tyce

Vangitseva ja moniulotteinen psykologinen trilleri vallasta, karmeista teoista ja niiden seurauksista. Anna on istunut tuomionsa ja valmistautuu elämään vankilan ulkopuolella, mutta viimeinen yö ennen vapautumista pakottaa hänet miettimään suunnitelmansa uusiksi. Lucy on toivottoman rakastunut vanhempaan professoriin - mutta hänen kannattaisi varoa, mitä toivoo. Marien menneisyys on eristänyt hänet muista. On tullut hänen aikansa astua esiin. Kolmen naisen kohtalot kiertyvät yhteen, kun Annan vapautuminen käynnistää kuolettavien tapahtumien sarjan. Harriet Tyce on entinen rikosasianajaja, joka vakuutti lukijat esikoisteoksellaan Veriappelsiini.

"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, New York Times bestselling author of No One Would Do What the Lamberts Have Done and The Monogram Murders "A legal thriller unlike any you've ever read, this mind-melting page-turner is Tyce at her whip-smart best."--Ellery Lloyd, author of The Club Internationally bestselling author Harriet Tyce returns with a page-turning thriller involving three teenage girls, one murdered classmate, and a chilling modern-day witch trial that will leave readers breathless. Let the Witch Trial begin . . . When eighteen-year-old Christian Shaw is found dead in a park, the city of Edinburgh is stunned--and the shock only deepens when police charge her best friends, Eliza Lawson and Isobel Smyth, with the murder. As social media explodes in a tizzy of theories and headlines scream for justice, rumors of bullying are overshadowed by something more wicked and frightening: whispers of dark rituals, feverish obsession, and a teenage pact gone wrong. When the trial begins, everyone in Edinburgh clamors for a front-row ticket to the show: to look upon the murderous Eliza and Isobel with their own eyes. Everyone, that is, but Matthew Phillips, a respected heart surgeon picked for the jury. But, as the trial unfolds--and the girls' lawyers offer a surprising and unsettling defense--the reluctant Matthew finds himself questioning everything: the motives, the evidence, even his own judgement. Then he begins to have strange visions of terrifying things--hallucinations he tells himself. After all, witchcraft isn't real . . . or is it? Who is telling the truth? Who can be trusted? And what really happened to Christian Shaw?

Shocking, dark, addictive - LIES YOU TOLD is the compulsive new psychological thriller from Harriet Tyce, author of BLOOD ORANGE. Perfect for fans of APPLE TREE YARD, BIG LITTLE LIES, and ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL

Sadie er tvunget til å flytte tilbake til London sammen med datteren sin Robin, etter at mannen hennes har fortalt at han har vært utro og vil skilles. Livet de har etablert i USA, blir ødelagt på dagen. Sadies avdøde mor var både kontrollerende og manipulerende. For å kunne motta morens arv er betingelsene at de må bo i huset hun har etterlatt seg, og at Robin må gå på den samme eksklusive privatskolen som Sadie gikk på. Sadie hatet skolen da hun gikk der, men de har ikke råd til å gjøre noe annet. Skolemiljøet er svært konkurransepreget, ikke bare blant elevene, men også blant mødrene. Sadie får tilbake sin gamle jobb som strafferettsadvokat og må assistere i en sak der en lærer blir anklaget for et forhold til en elev, en sak som kan ha forbindelser til Robins skole. «Jeg leste ut Løgnene du fortalte på to dager, kunne nesten ikke få lest raskt nok.» Lisa Jewell«En fantastisk sidevender med et vendepunkt du må lese to ganger – du kan simpelthen ikke tro at du gikk glipp av det.» John Marrs«Totalt avhengighetsskapende – jeg ble helt oppslukt.» Sophie Hannah «En smart sidevender fra forfatteren av Bitter frukt.» Sarah Pinborough «En gripende og intelligent thriller.» Stylist – en av sommerens beste bøker
