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.\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eISBN13: 9781464299452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of Pages: 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 06 Oct 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Sourcebooks, Inc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication City, Country: United States\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions (cm): 23.3(H)x15.3(L)x2.3(W)326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight (gm): 326\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h4\u003e#1 New York Times, #1 Sunday Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, and internationally bestselling author Freida McFadden is a physician who lives in Boston with her family.

Half of the book is set in 1692 when the patriarchy hangs ‘witches’ (sound familiar?) and the other half is set in present-day Massachusetts when young Julia comes to the 300-year-old family home to take care of her ailing grandma. She does not expect to be greeted by ghosts, or skeletons or an unusual young man who looks like he’s from a different era. \u003cb\u003eAll of this combines to make a wildly entertaining and genuinely spooky story with Freida’s trademark wit and hilarious observations. I have no hesitation in saying that this is Freida’s best book yet.\u003c\/b\u003e I loved every single page. * Liz Nugent, internationally bestselling and award winning author of Strange Sally Diamond *\u003cbr\u003eThe queen of psychological suspense does it again – \u003ci\u003eThe Witch\u003c\/i\u003e is a pacy, page-turning dual timeline with a haunting mystery at its core.
