A page-turning thriller about a woman who seeks solace in a new home, only to discover that her dream has become a living nightmare, from the number one bestselling author.

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.
