Former barrister and author Harriet Tyce might have been banished from the hit BBC show The Traitors, but she is having the ultimate revenge with a dramatic surge in sales for her crime novels.
From the Round Table to the Bestseller Lists
Following her dramatic exit from the castle in the episode aired on Wednesday, 14th January 2026, fans have rushed to support the popular contestant by buying her books. This immediate fan reaction has propelled her titles rapidly up the Amazon Kindle Store bestseller charts.
Her novel The Lies You Told has seen a particularly impressive climb, now sitting at number 26 in the worldwide Kindle charts. Meanwhile, her earlier work, the Sunday Times Bestseller Blood Orange, has also enjoyed a significant boost, currently positioned at number 63 on the same list.
Where to Find Her Books and Current Deals
For readers eager to dive into Tyce's thrilling stories, there are some excellent deals available right now. For a limited time, the Kindle edition of 'The Lies You Told' is free for Kindle Unlimited subscribers, or can be purchased for just £0.99. The audiobook version is also priced at 99p.
If you prefer a physical copy, paperback versions of the book are available for under £10, with the hardback priced at £19.39. Blood Orange is available in all formats, with its audiobook also a bargain at £0.99 and the Kindle edition at £4.99.
Physical copies are flying off shelves at retailers like Books 2 Door, while Waterstones stocks all her titles, including pre-orders for her latest novel, which is due for release next month.
Reader Reviews and Broader Appeal
The surge in interest has brought renewed attention to reader reviews. One fan praised The Lies You Told as "fast paced, kept you guessing right up till the end," noting Tyce as a new and exciting author for them. Another reader, while feeling Blood Orange was the stronger page-turner, still recommended the former as "an easy reading thriller" with interesting characters.
For those inspired to expand their 2026 reading list further, Waterstones offers a wide range of crime novels from other authors, including celebrity titles from Judge Rob Rinder and Richard Osman's hugely popular Thursday Murder Club series.
Harriet Tyce's experience is a clear example of the powerful 'Traitors effect', where audience affection for a contestant translates directly into commercial success beyond the screen.
