## Caption

The bestselling author known to the world as Freida McFadden is revealing her true identity.   McFadden, whose prolific output includes “The Housemaid” and other domestic thrillers, uses a pseudonym, wig and glasses to maintain her privacy in public. When she first began publishing, she lived a Hannah Montana-worthy double life as a doctor but kept the two personas separate.   “Even though the name will be a surprise, nothing else will. I’ve always been genuine with my readers,” said the author.    📸: Kieran Kesner #freidamcfadden #booktok #thehousemaid
