Back cover blurb: 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.
When Ellie moves into her new property, all she has is the house itself to her name.
She has no money, no clothes and a terrible secret that needs to be kept.
But the walls seem to have eyes and ears and do not want Ellie living there...
Someone tries to break in the first night she is there, and her neighbours desperately want to help.
But she is terrified of them discovering her past, and doesn't want to let them in. Though she msut for her own safety.
The thing is, Ellie has been to prison.
Albeit for a crime that she didn't mean to commit, a terrible accident that ended up costing her everything.
But a crime was committed nonetheless.
And now it seems that someone wants revenge.
This will keep you guessing until the very end.
This is one of those books that I can't say too much more about as I don't want to give anything away, but it's a brilliant read, and I highly recommend it.
Buyer Beware is available now via Amazon online and all good book shops.
