Klappentext

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

'One of the best openings I've read in forever. I devoured it.'
Alex Michaelides

'A juicy, sophisticated, layered and intelligent read for the crime fiction connoisseur. Harriet's best so far.'
Sophie Hannah

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.

'A Lesson in Cruelty is a lesson in craftmanship. A dizzyingly satisfying page-turner and an exploration of redemption and damnation.'
Sarah Pinborough

'Superb, twisty plotting that's sure to keep readers guessing until the very end.'
Femi Kayode
