Descripción editorial
From the internationally bestselling author of 56 Days, a page-turning thriller about two women whose shattered lives come crashing together around a house whose secrets could bury them both.
If these walls could talk, they’d scream...
When Ellie moves to 1 Delaney Row, she hopes to find a fresh start—a place where no one knows her name, her history, or her secrets. 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.
As Ellie starts to unravel the house’s disturbing backstory, coming closer to the shocking mystery at its center, she unwittingly puts herself on a deadly collision course not just with her new home’s history, but with her own as well.
A puzzle box of a thriller full of mind-boggling twists and turns, Buyer Beware is a chilling exploration of the dark secrets that any house can hold—and of the lengths we’ll go to start over.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Howard (Burn After Reading) delivers a devilish domestic thriller that follows three narrators connected to a notorious house in the suburbs of Dublin. In 1968, a resident of 1 Delaney Row disappeared, spawning speculation that he was murdered. Ever since, the house has had an unsavory reputation. In the 2020s, Ellie moves in, bringing only the bare essentials with her—all she wants is to leave a dark, unspecified past behind. But living in what she soon discovers is a well-known "murder house" opens her up to scrutiny from neighbors and internet lurkers alike. As Ellie deals with vandalism and conspiracy theorists, Howard shuffles in chapters from the perspective of Erin, a bright Irish university student looking to become a medical researcher in 2000, and Hannah, a successful small business owner in 2015. Gradually, the narrative threads come together, shedding harsh light on Ellie's checkered past and current situation. Though Howard piles on perhaps one too many twists in the second half, she gets points for delivering surprises and crafting well-rounded characters who are easy to invest in. It's an entertaining ride.
