As I dive headfirst into the creative process, I’m keeping tight-lipped about the juicy details of the psychological thriller I’m working on next. Stay tuned!

According to the book, it appears that the movie will focus on a recently married pair embarking on a hunt for their ideal home. They stumble upon an ancient mansion previously belonging to a well-known psychiatrist who vanished without a trace four years prior.

In the midst of a fierce winter storm, confined within the grand estate, the wife stumbles upon a concealed chamber containing old cassette tapes from a psychologist’s therapy sessions with his previous clients. Among these tapes, one voice seems unsettlingly familiar to her, sparking a spine-tingling revelation as they gradually uncover the manor’s haunting history and its long-buried secrets.

Who is the author behind Never Lie?

Frieda McFadden, using a pseudonym, transitioned from being a medical professional into an accomplished author. Over the past ten years, she has gained significant recognition and become a prominent figure within the publishing industry.

McFadden’s books have reached the summit of various bestseller rankings, such as those by the New York Times, USA Today, the Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Amazon Charts.

McFadden launched her writing journey by self-publishing through Amazon KDP in 2013. However, it was her 2022 book, “The Housemaid,” that struck gold, achieving international bestseller status. She has since written numerous psychological thrillers and medical humor novels, with titles such as the “The Housemaid” series, “Never Lie,” “The Inmate,” and “The Teacher” captivating readers globally.
