About this listen
Margo’s marriage, family and career are dangerously out of control.
All she needs is a fresh start in a new house to get her dream life back on track.
When the ideal home comes up, desperate measures are called for. A little stalking. Some trespassing. Befriending the owner. All reasonable enough, right?
But when your best offer might not win, then you just need to do what it takes…

Critic Reviews
Best Offer Wins is a clever, twisted, and hilarious thriller. I finished it in a day because I couldn't stop reading!
Dark, funny and inventive, this is an ingeniously entertaining take on millennial anxieties.
A twisty rollercoaster that kept me hooked from the start – the TV rights have already been snapped up. I couldn't help rooting for Margo, no matter what she did. Fantastic.
A deeply believable character with a heartbreaking family past, Margo’s lies and plans spin darkly and hilariously out of control, but by god, you’ll be rooting for her.
It starts out feeling pretty light and fun, but I promise you, you have no idea where this story is going.
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.
A cross between Gone Girl and Selling Sunset
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.
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?
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.
Irresistible, elegantly written, and timely as hell, Best Offer Wins puts a sinister spin on today’s cutthroat real estate market. We may not want to root for Margo on her rage-fuelled quest, full of dark twists, for her “dream home,” but her voice is too alluring to refuse.
Thank God this book exists - it's a slick, mischievous thriller about the longing to find home and beauty in an impossible economy. Kashino crafts her story so immaculately, as the protagonist's deeds become darker, dirtier and more twisted, you simply root for her even harder.
[A] gripping, witty debut thriller
