A brand-new psychological thriller from #1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Freida McFadden – the master of riveting suspense and emotional twists that readers can’t get enough of.
Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn’t realise she’s heading straight into a blizzard.
Stranded in rural Maine with a dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she’s made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle occurs: she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears.
But something isn’t right. Tegan believed she was waiting out the storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realise she is in grave danger. This safe haven isn’t what she thought it was, and staying here may have been her most deadly mistake yet.
And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself – and her unborn child.
A gut-wrenching story of motherhood, survival, and twisted expectations from the master of mystery and suspense, Freida McFadden delivers a snowbound thriller that will chill you to the bone.
YouTube baking sensation April Masterson knows the secret to the perfect gooey brownies. Or how to make key lime squares that will melt in your mouth. But if you keep watching her offline, you may find out some other secrets about April. Secrets she’d rather you didn’t know.
Like where did her son go when he snuck out of the house? What was she doing with the local soccer coach behind fogged windows? And what’s buried in her backyard?
Everyone has secrets. Some are worse than others.
April’s secrets are enough to destroy her.
“Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own…
Every day I clean the Winchesters’ beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor. I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.
I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out… and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.
But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don’t know who I really am.
They don’t know what I’m capable of…
“You must be our new neighbors!” Mrs. Lowell gushes and waves across
the picket fence. I clutch my daughter’s hand and smile back: but the
second Mrs. Lowell sees my husband a strange expression crosses her
face. In that moment I make a promise. We finally have a family home.
My past is far, far behind us. And I’ll do anything to keep it that way…
I used to clean other people’s houses—now, I can’t believe this home is
actually mine. The charming kitchen, the quiet cul-de-sac, the huge
yard where my kids can play. My husband and I saved for years to give
our children the life they deserve.
Even though I’m wary of our new neighbor Mrs. Lowell, when she invites
us over for dinner it’s our chance to make friends. Her maid opens the
door wearing a white apron, her hair in a tight bun. I know exactly
what it’s like to be in her shoes. But her cold stare gives me chills…
The Lowells’ maid isn’t the only strange thing on our street. I’m sure
I see a shadowy figure watching us. My husband leaves the house late at
night. And when I meet a woman who lives across the way, her words
chill me to the bone: Be careful of your neighbors.
Did I make a terrible mistake moving my family here?
I thought I’d left my darkest secrets behind. But could this quiet
suburban street be the most dangerous place of all?

The guiltiest people aren't always the ones behind bars…
As a new nurse practitioner at a maximum-security prison, Brooke Sullivan is taught three crucial rules:
1. Treat all prisoners with respect.
2. Never reveal any personal information.
3. Never EVER become too friendly with the inmates.
But nobody knows that Brooke has already broken the rules. Nobody knows about her intimate connection to Shane Nelson, one of the penitentiary's most notorious and dangerous inmates. They certainly don't know that Shane was Brooke's high school sweetheart―the star quarterback, the golden boy who's serving a life sentence for a series of grisly murders. Or that Brooke's testimony was what put him there.
But Shane knows. He knows more than anyone. And he will never forget.
The Inmate is a propulsive, mind-bending thriller about how we define guilt―and who has to pay for it, from New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden.
Who knows what the storm will blow in…
Casey's cabin in the wilderness is not built for a hurricane. Her roof
shakes, the lights flicker, and the tree outside her front door sways
ominously in the wind. But she's a lot more worried about the girl she
discovers lurking outside her kitchen window.
She’s young. She’s alone. And she’s covered in blood.
The girl won't explain where she came from, or loosen her grip on the
knife in her right hand. And when Casey makes a disturbing discovery in
the middle of the night, things take a turn for the worse.
The girl has a dark secret. One she’ll kill to keep. And if Casey gets
too close to the truth, she may not live to see the morning.
She gave you a life. Now she wants yours.
Abby wants a baby more than anything.
But after years of failed infertility treatments and adoptions that
have fallen through, it seems like motherhood is not in her future.
That is, until her personal assistant Monica makes a generous offer
that will make all of Abby's dreams come true.
But it turns out Monica isn't who she says she is. The woman now
carrying Abby's child has an unspeakable secret.
And she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet.
Then the brutal murder of a young woman―the latest in a string of

mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.
Sydney should feel safe. After all, she is dating the guy of her
dreams. But she can’t shake her own suspicions that the perfect man may
not be as perfect as he seems. Because someone is watching her every
move, and if she doesn’t get to the truth, she’ll be the killer’s next
victim...

From Sunday Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a dark,
twisting thriller about a group of friends lost in the woods: one by
one, they each will fall, and only the killer will return home alive...
A night spent sleeping on dirt and leaves is not how Claire Matchett
expected to spend her vacation. She thought this would be a break from
the stresses of work and raising her young children. A chance to repair
her damaged marriage. A week of hiking and hot tubs with friends. It
sounded like heaven.

their hotel. But it turns out the woods aren't as easy to navigate as
they thought. Hours later, they are lost. Hopelessly lost.
And as they navigate deeper into the woods, the members of their party
are struck down mysteriously one by one. Has a wild animal been hunting
them? Or is the hunter one of them?
But as more time passes, one thing becomes clear: Only one of them will
return home alive.
