About the Book:

The Witch is a haunting thriller by Freida McFadden, blending mystery, psychological suspense, family secrets, and a dark historical connection to witchcraft. The story centers on Julia Barlow, who loses both her job and apartment and returns to Pemberton, her family’s seventeenth-century estate in rural Massachusetts to check on her aging grandmother. But the old house soon becomes unsettling, with a grandfather clock that stops at exactly 3:41 a.m., unexplained flickering lights, and a mysterious voice calling for help outside Julia’s bedroom.

As Julia investigates Pemberton’s history, she discovers the story of a woman who was executed for witchcraft in 1692. Long-hidden family secrets begin to emerge, raising questions about whether the strange events surrounding the estate have a supernatural explanation or are connected to something far more human. With its eerie setting, historical elements, mystery, and twists, The Witch explores secrets inherited across generations and the consequences of buried truths.
