About this event

In Conversation with Spencer Smart, about her new book 'Let the Witch Trial Begin'

Harriet Tyce was the standout star of BBC’s most recent series of The Traitors, but this is only a very small part of her own story. This one-time criminal barrister turned her hand to writing about crime and was already a Sunday Times bestselling author of written four novels: Blood Orange, The Lies You Told, It Ends At Midnight and A Lesson in Cruelty

Now comes a new novel, Witch Trial, a tense and twisting story sparked by the murder of a teenage girl in Edinburgh and the arrest of her two closest friends. As the case ignites a media frenzy, rumours of bullying, obsession and something far more sinister begin to swirl. With loyalties shifting and judgement clouded, the question becomes: who can be trusted and what really happened? Join Harriet for a gripping conversation about life in the courtroom, on reality TV and inside the dark worlds she creates on the page. Expect sharp insight, behind‑the‑scenes stories and the addictive suspense Harriet is known for

Spencer Smart has been deeply involved with the Penzance LitFest for over ten years. He has a marketing background across the IT and publishing industries and has just completed the first three books in a series of Penzance-set crime novels

Presented by Penzance Literary Festival
