I love Harriet Tyce’s writing, so I’m thrilled that the latest of my My Weekly magazine online reviews is Harriet’s A Lesson in Cruelty.

I previously reviewed Harriet’s Blood Orange here, The Lies You Told here and It Ends at Midnight here.

Published by Headline Imprint Wildfire on 11th April 2024, A Lesson in Cruelty is available for purchase here.

A Lesson in Cruelty

They say you can’t always get what you want. But you can take it.

Anna wants a fresh start. She doesn’t believe she deserves it, but after three years behind bars she has finally paid her dues. Most of them, anyway.

Lucy craves the attention of the only man she can’t have, her alluring Oxford professor. He’s married – not for the first time. Maybe she should be next in line?

Marie the recluse has been locked up for too long. She’s not ready to be free, but some rules are meant to be broken.

Everyone wants a perfect life. But not everyone is prepared to take it.

Unless someone decides to teach them a lesson.

My Review of A Lesson in Cruelty

My full review of A Lesson in Cruelty can be found on the My Weekly website here.

However, here I can say that A Lesson in Cruelty is an amazing narrative of twists and turns, despicable and damaged characters and thrilling events. I loved it.
