## Description

Named one of the TIME100 Most Influential People of 2026 “I enjoy Freida McFadden…The books are engrossing and her sense of humour is sharp and dark. Vengeance comes with a twist and is satisfying” – STEPHEN KING “McFadden is a writer at the top of her game―and the undisputed mistress of the psychological thriller.” – E. L. James “Take the propulsive darkness of Gone Girl, the prolific output of Colleen Hoover, and the addictive twists of Harlan Coben, and you have something close to Freida McFadden.” – The Independent “Intimidatingly prolific” – The Sunday Times 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 ageing 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 realises 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 Su nday 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.
