Buyer Beware




FOR SALE: Charming two-bed terrace in desirable neighbourhood. Just ignore the blood stains . . .
A domestic thriller like nothing you’ve read before, from the #1 bestselling author.

Ellie is starting afresh, moving on from a traumatic past she’d rather keep hidden. All she has to her name is a rickety old suitcase, a roll of cash – and the keys to a house she didn’t know she’d inherited. But she’s overdue some good luck, so she’s not about to question it.

Then, on her first night in her new home, she pulls up the dingy carpet, hoping to uncover the original hardwood floors beneath it. Instead, she finds something horrible, something she can’t unsee.

As Ellie tries desperately to outrun her own past, it becomes clear that the house is keeping secrets of its own. And someone is prepared to go to great lengths to stop Ellie from discovering them.
