After years of speculation, the author of the best-selling thriller 'The Housemaid,' known as Freida McFadden, has revealed her true identity as Sara Cohen. In an interview with USA Today, Cohen expressed her desire to end the mystery surrounding her identity, stating, “I’m at a point in my career when I’m tired of this being a secret.” Cohen, who has been a medical doctor specializing in brain disorders in Boston, Massachusetts, initially adopted the pen name to keep her writing career separate from her medical profession. She published her first novel, 'The Devil Wears Scrubs,' in 2013 while working as a resident. Now, with reduced clinical hours, she feels ready to share her real name with her fans. Despite this revelation, Cohen intends to continue writing under the name Freida McFadden, assuring her readers that her authenticity remains unchanged. Her novels have garnered immense popularity, with 'The Housemaid' series even being adapted into a successful film featuring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried.
