House hunting is a special kind of hell.

A laugh-out-loud, jaw-dropping, voice-driven, cross-market thriller that does for the housing market what Yellowface did for publishing.

House hunting is a special kind of hell... Get ready to be gripped by the darkly funny and unputdownable new domestic thriller, perfect for fans of How to Kill Your Family and Yellowface.

'Not since Gone Girl have I been so gripped by a narrative voice' - Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Silent Patient

'Darkly satirical and wildly entertaining... a riveting thriller from the first page to the last' - Amy Tintera, New York Times bestselling author of Listen for the Lie

After a year and a half, and more failed bids than she cares to count, Margo Miyake is officially losing it.

Then, a tip-offβ€”a perfect house, off-market, that Margo just knows will save her and Ian's marriage, and get her life, career and plan to have a baby back on track.

A little stalking? Harmless! A bit of trespassing? Necessary! But when Margo's scheming hits a snag, she is pushed to her breaking point.

As her methods get increasingly unhinged, it's clear that nothing is off limits. It's not her fault she's just doing what it takes...
