Marisa Kashino

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

A cross between Gone Girl and Selling Sunset

Elizabeth Day, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author

What an absolutely insane, sometimes obscene and ludicrously entertaining and original novel. I felt every emotion available while reading Best Offer Wins: horrified, scared, excited, obsessed, humoured, delighted, concerned and of course, entirely gripped. You know it’s a great book when you’re rooting for someone who should not be supported for their rights or their wrongs. Marisa Kashino is a genius and I cannot wait to – inevitably – read this book all over again.

Ore Agbaje-Williams, author of The Three of Us

Best Offer Wins is a page-turning blend of cringey and compulsive that had my jaw dropping on nearly every other page. Kashino cloaks her examination of gender, class, and race expectations in a twisty domestic thriller that had me guessing until the final pages.

Darkly satirical and wildly entertaining, Best Offer Wins is a riveting thriller from the first page to the last. Who knew that buying a house could be so fun and twisted?

Amy Tintera, New York Times bestselling author of Listen for the Lie

Best Offer Wins takes the thrill of the house hunt and ratchets it up to diabolical levels. Dark, hilarious, and totally gripping, with a jaw-dropping twist that closes the deal.

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.

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…
