This looks so good. I've been wanting to read this author for a long time. I saw the movie based on her The Housemaid book and loved it. I know I'll love her other books.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
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.

That sounds good! I like a lot of McFadden’s novels. I have so many books in my TBR pile that I haven’t thought about wanting a new one. But I still keep getting them 😂
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a gripping page-turner - though if I were reading it, I'd probably need to keep the lights on for the rest of the night!
