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.

'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-off—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...
