Best Offer Wins

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-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…

Praise for Best Offer Wins:

'A twisty domestic thriller that had me guessing until the final pages' Lottie Hazell, author of Piglet

‘A cross between Gone Girl and Selling Sunset’ Elizabeth Day, Sunday Times bestselling author of Magpie

Genius’ Ore Agbaje-Williams, author of The Three of Us

Dark, hilarious, and totally gripping, with a jaw-dropping twist that closes the deal’ Ryan Serhant, CEO and star real estate broker, author of Sell It Like Serhant, producer and star of Netflix’s Owning Manhatta

Not since Gone Girl have I been so gripped by a narrative voice. This is a tale of blackest comedy, spiralling obsession and ultimate horror. By turns laugh-out-loud funny and appalling, Marisa Kashino asks how far you would go to secure your dream house, then goes several steps further than you would ever dare. Compulsive and unputdownable. Highly recommended.

Alex Michaelides, #1 bestselling author of The Silent Patient
