The Witch by Freida McFadden (Hardback)

The haunting new thriller from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author Freida McFadden. 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 might give her a place to quietly 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 out for help beyond 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 slowly realises the past may not be finished with Pemberton just yet. When decades of family lies begin to rise to the surface, Julia must confront a terrifying truth: her home may be haunted by women whose voices refuse to stay silent.

Chilling and twist-filled, The Witch is a story about the secrets we inherit, the ones we bury, and the ones people will burn to keep silent.

Perfect for readers who love a chilling, twist-filled thriller, a haunted-house mystery steeped in atmosphere, and a dark tale where the past refuses to stay buried.
