Summary

A brand-new, haunting thriller from Freida McFadden, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid!

Some secrets don't die―they wait.

When Julia Barlow loses her job and her apartment, she has nowhere left to go but Pemberton, her family's sprawling seventeenth-century estate in rural Massachusetts. Officially, she's there to check in on her aging grandmother. Unofficially, she's hoping the old house will give her a place to disappear.

Instead, Pemberton begins to unravel her.

Every night, the grandfather clock stops at exactly 3:41 a.m. The lights flicker without warning. And a disembodied voice cries for help outside Julia's bedroom door.

As Julia digs into the house's dark history, she uncovers the story of a woman executed for witchcraft in 1692―and realizes the past may not be finished with Pemberton yet. When decades of family lies begin to surface, Julia must confront a terrifying truth: Pemberton may be haunted by women whose voices refuse to stay silent.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes The Witch, a chilling, twist-filled thriller about secrets―those we inherit, those we bury, and those people will burn to keep silent.

Was looking forward to this new book. Much to her style was a good read. End wasn’t one of her best but still a solid book

Much anticipated, but…

thoroughly enjoyed this book! The storyline was engaging and had me wanting more. The narrator had a fabulous voice that really brought the story to life. As the plot thickened towards the end, things took an unexpected turn that I didn’t see coming. The ending was absolutely brilliant and tied everything together beautifully. A well-written, well-put-together story that kept me hooked right to the very end. Highly recommend!

I have read all of Freida’s books (with some hits and some misses) and this would be one of the best. She keeps to her normal concepts like short chapters but she crosses over into historical fiction for the first time. With differing POV’s she successfully weaves a seemless narrative. I absolutely loved the historical side. The surprises that came near the end of the story were great. Humour is also blended well in the current day POV. Characters were deep and compelling and the story flowed very well. Highly recommend this book.

Amazing

Everything to love absolutely nothing to dislike. Both narrators are captivating. I found myself right back in 1682!!

Absolutely loved this. I was so engaged with the characters especially those from the 1600s - did not predict the ending. Highly recommend.

One of her best yet
