Description

Meet the women of Harrington Estates. They're one big happy family. At least, that's what they all say...

New arrival Bella is determined to get to the top, and she doesn't mind stepping on some Louboutin-clad toes to get there.

No-nonsense Hannah was the rising star, but now Bella's stealing her thunder - and her agent of the year award.

Olivia wants it all - the glittering career, the picture-perfect family. But lately it feels like something - or someone - is trying to snatch it away.

Then there's poor Claire, who has lost more keys than sold properties - and Bella makes sure the whole office knows it.

When Bella is found dead at the open house for a £10-million mansion, everyone's a suspect. They'd all die for that listing, after all.

But did one of them kill for it?

Fans of How to Kill Your Family and Selling Sunset will love this hilariously dark thriller from Kate Weston, with characters you'll love to hate, vicious office politics, and a twist you'll NEVER see coming.

I love a whodunnit where everyone is screwing over everyone else so this book was my cup of tea from the start. Who knew the world of estate agents was so dangerous? Every single character in this book is so unlikeable, and I loved it. I spent the whole time reading it trying to work out what had happened and I probably had about 20 different theories throughout…the reveal hit me like a sculpture to the head. I loved it.

I was initially drawn to this book as I saw it described as perfect for fans of Selling Sunset. It’s based around a group of toxic women who work at an estate agents called Harrington Estates. Like the show, there’s plenty of office politics, especially with the new girl Bella who’ll do anything to get to the top.

However, things take a turn during an open house for a new client where Bella is found dead.

This was such a fun read and one I’d recommend to anyone who loves a bit of dark humour mixed with murder. I laughed out loud throughout and won’t be able to listen to Big Girls Don’t Cry by Fergie again without thinking of Hannah, one of the main characters.

The characters are so unlikeable, hilarious and at times, scarily realistic. Such a brilliant book and one I’ll be recommending. Thank you so much to @netgalley and @headlinebooks for this ARC.
