There was just a lot going on in this book. There were a lot of characters and going back in time to present time for me to listen to as an audiobook. May have liked it more if I’d read it rather than listen to it.
I REALLY enjoyed this book. I was at the edge of my seat the whole time trying to figure out who was the person that was murdered and who murdered the victim.
During a broker's showing of a very expensive home, there is a body found in the pool. The agents for the realtor company that is selling the home all make the short list of suspects. Each agent seems to have the perfect life, but they have their secrets which they desperately try to hide from their coworkers.
Each chapter is a different point of view but what I loved is the fact that you don't know who the body is in the pool until late in the book. Each person can be the victim and every person you are introduced to can be the murderer. I honestly could not figure out any part of the story but I genuinely felt like it was a page turner that held my interest the whole time.

I thought the unraveling of the characters’ secrets was very well done. I thought the murder wasn’t one that could be guessed easily. The champagne bottle was a big hint I noticed. I really didn’t find any part of the book I didn’t like. I’m a fan of Selling Sunset and “who done it” books, so this was a great combination. Just not one of my favorite books I’ve read.
What would you do for money?
To Die For by Lisa Gray is a mystery thriller set in a newly built $50M home on the Malibu coast. Each realtor has a reason for going after the sale and a motive for murder. The book is told from each of the realtors points of view, before and after the murder and shows what lengths each will go to for the money.
I would recommend this book for anyone who likes a classic mystery who done it, no matter the age.

This was insane. Kind of stupid but in an addictive way, like Selling Sunset if there was a murderer. My biggest gripe with this book is I do notttttt love when authors play out a series of events and then spend an entire chapter explaining what happened - I like to have an OMG NO WAY moment when I put the pieces together, and that is lost when theres so many moving parts that the author has to explained wtf just went down. Most of the characters were not likeable and I was hoping for some sort of karma/justice for them by the end of the book because of how horrible they were, and that was lost to- so it's like, why make these people so horrible if they wont be punished???
