Get ready to be addicted to the page-turning new mystery thriller from the #1 bestselling author of The Trap and 56 Days, in which two women's shattered lives come crashing together around a house whose secrets could bury them both.
If these walls could talk, they’d scream…
When Ellie moves into 1 Delaney Row, all she has to her name is the house, a small suitcase and the terrible secrets she’s desperate to keep. But what she doesn’t know is that her new home is already hiding someone else’s secrets – and the people determined to keep them are watching her.
When a grim discovery prompts Ellie to find out more about the house’s past, she unwittingly puts herself on a deadly collision course not just with her new home’s history, but with her own as well…
Inspired by so-called ‘stigmatised properties’ – houses with dark and violent pasts '' Buyer Beware is an intricate puzzle-box of a thriller with a pulsing emotional heart, from an author at the very top of her game.
