Waterstones Liverpool Welcomes Harriet Tyce

We are thrilled to welcome Harriet Tyce - the best selling author of Blood Orange - as she joins us to discuss her extraordinary new novel Witch Trial
Two teenage girls. One murdered classmate.
And a modern-day witch trial that will divide the nation. . .

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 M**der.

As social media explodes and headlines scream for justice, rumours of bullying spiral into something darker: whispers of rituals, obsession, and a teenage pact gone wrong.

Matthew Phillips, a respected heart surgeon, is reluctantly called for jury duty. But as the trial unfolds - and the girls reveal a chilling defence no one saw coming - he begins to question everything: the motives, the evidence, even his own judgement.

Who's telling the truth? Who can be trusted?
And what really happened to Christian Shaw?

Let the Witch Trial begin . . .
Described as "deliciously twisted" by Clare Douglas and by Sophie Hannah as "an utter masterpiece" this is a thriller - and an evening! - you won't want to miss.
