Can anyone recommend a 'Bayesian statistics the hard way' book?

For the hard way, look at Bruno de Finetti's Theory of Probability:

Jaynes is certainly very deep and some sections are harder than others. It's interesting regardless of your level (this is a book worth rereading several times).

For a less technical, but full of insight, introduction see Dennis Lindley's Understanding Uncertainty:

one vote for BDA. For programmers who learn better by implementing things, this book [1] is also good:

Parts of that book are available online[1] for free. If not for that book I would never have understood how to apply Bayesian stats to problems that interested me.

But really, the first two chapters aren't that hard.

Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan is also considered pretty good.
