About this listen

A young lawyer's outwardly perfect life spirals out of control as she takes on her first murder case in this dark and twisty debut thriller for fans of Paula Hawkins, A.J. Finn, or Shari Lapena.

Alison has it all. A doting husband, adorable daughter, and a career on the rise - she's just been given her first murder case to defend. But all is never as it seems...

Just one more night. Then I'll end it.

Alison drinks too much. She's neglecting her family. And she's having an affair with a colleague whose taste for pushing boundaries may be more than she can handle.

I did it. I killed him. I should be locked up.

Alison's client doesn't deny that she stabbed her husband - she wants to plead guilty. And yet something about her story is deeply amiss. Saving this woman may be the first step to Alison saving herself.

I'm watching you. I know what you're doing.

But someone knows Alison's secrets. Someone who wants to make her pay for what she's done, and who won't stop until she's lost everything....

Critic reviews

"In BLOOD ORANGE, Harriet Tyce brings a new layer of visceral, addictive dark to domestic noir. Obsession, revenge, lust and murder play out on the pages as a female barrister tries to hold her life together while her personality tries to tear it apart. At once shocking and riveting, I simply couldn't stop reading. Bravo!"—Sarah Pinborough, New York Times bestselling author

"BLOOD ORANGE is destined to be a debut that everyone is talking about in 2019. Dark, original and utterly compelling, I could not put it down. And what a twist at the end!"—Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author of Then She Was Gone

"BLOOD ORANGE caters to [a] growing craving to dissect people's hidden impulses, [with] a staggering finale that is guaranteed to leave readers shocked."—Palm Beach Post

The book should be twice shorter

The first 5-6 chapters repeated the same. No tension, like boring drama about alcoholic and her silly behaviour. The end good, compensates wasted time at the beginning.

Thought it was a crime novel

Story is largely about the main characters deteriorating mental health, alcoholism, and failing marriage. The only exciting part was the last 30 minutes, it’s a real twist you will never expect. Not worth the read

Overall, I like the story, but there were times that I found the main character frustrating.

Summary

I enjoyed listening to this story on audio. It had a little bit of everything going on. Some chapter's were over the top but all and all a good story.

I wasn’t sure if I’d like this book but it is honestly one of my favorite’s now. I couldn’t imagine going through what she does!

Mixed bag

It was a page turner but I think the author should not have made the husband a therapist.., unless he got his degree online. He clearly can’t communicate, control his rage or cope so not sure how he can do his job…

Page Turner

Loved it! The writer pulls you into the world of the female barrister using vivid details. There were times I loved the main character, other times I couldn't stand her. We are able to witness the full character development in exciting ways. The audio performance was simply lovely, she wonderfully expressed each character. Highly recommend this in audio or book form.
