An old family house offers shelter—and a mystery—in The Witch by Freida McFadden. This thriller connects a woman’s return to her family estate with secrets that reach back to seventeenth-century Massachusetts.
An unsettling return to Pemberton
The publisher’s description follows Julia Barlow, who retreats to her family’s estate after losing her job and apartment. She plans to check on her grandmother, but unexplained disturbances begin to unsettle her. As she investigates the house’s history, a connection to a woman accused of witchcraft in 1692 emerges.
The premise combines family secrets, a threatening atmosphere and questions about what might be haunting the estate. This introduction avoids revealing the ending.
