Author of Blood Orange, The Lies You Told & It Ends at Midnight, Contestant on The Traitors 2026
Harriet Tyce’s Biography:
Harriet Tyce is a British novelist known for writing sharp, psychologically driven thrillers that explore power, secrecy and moral ambiguity. Before turning to fiction full-time, she practised as a criminal barrister for ten years, an experience that continues to shape the realism and tension in her work. Courtrooms, private failures and ethical grey areas sit at the heart of her storytelling.
Her debut novel, Blood Orange, was published in 2019 and immediately established her as a bold new voice in crime fiction. The book’s success was followed by The Lies You Told, which deepened her reputation for emotionally complex narratives and tightly controlled suspense. In 2022, It Ends at Midnight further cemented her standing, blending psychological insight with high-stakes personal drama.
Tyce’s fourth novel, A Lesson in Cruelty, continued her exploration of privilege, obsession and consequence, while her forthcoming book, Witch Trial, signals a darker turn, drawing on themes of accusation, judgement and social fear. Across her body of work, her legal background gives her writing a distinctive authority, particularly in how she handles motive, testimony and truth.
In 2026, Tyce reached a wider mainstream audience as a contestant on the fourth series of The Traitors. Playing as a Faithful, she was banished in episode seven, but her calm, strategic approach and public profile during the series led to a notable surge in book sales. The appearance introduced her fiction to new readers and reinforced her reputation as a compelling figure both on and off the page.
