The Witch (Exclusive special edition)

Netherlands exclusive edition with sprayed edges! A brand-new, haunting thriller from Freida McFadden, #1 Sunday 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 Sunday 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.

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. All of this combines to make a wildly entertaining and genuinely spooky story with Freida’s…
