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.

Reviews for Buyer Beware

Buyer Beware but reader, delight: Catherine Ryan Howard has crafted another perfect thriller. The satisfyingly twisty narrative will keep you baffled and on the edge of your seat right up to the gripping end. Intensely relatable, astute and funny, Buyer Beware draws on our worst fears and vainest hopes to tell a story that's full of contemporary Irish resonance but effortlessly universal. A triumph from one of Ireland's very best writers * Jane Casey, bestselling author of THE SECRET ROOM * Oh boy! This book was a wild ride. We all want a roof over our heads but maybe not at 1 Delaney Row. Masterfully told in two timelines, the occupants of this home have so many skeletons in their closets, and some of them are screaming to get out. Beautifully written, brilliantly entertaining, and brutally terrifying, this is Ryan Howard's best book to date and that is saying something. Highly highly recommended * Liz Nugent, bestselling author of STRANGE SALLY DIAMOND *
