How far would you go to make a million dollars? Me, I am not sure but certainly I would not be stooping to the level of these Real Estate Agents!
To Die For is set in Sunny California. I really enjoyed the scenic descriptions of the book, could almost feel the humidity upon me while in the dead of winter here in Canada. lol
Saint Realty agents Andi, Hunter, Krystal, Myles & Verona are tasked with a huge assignment. Sell a 50 million dollar beachfront home in Malibu. The agent who sells the home will make a one million dollar commission. No sooner than the task is given, do the dollar signs start floating in everyones eyes. What a difference it could make to each of them for their own reasons.
The book took me a bit to settle in to because there were so many POV's - not just the Real Estate agents but the detectives as well and let's throw in a random POV later as well for good measure. The POV's told each of their stories, their secrets and their need for the one million dollars.
At an invite only Broker's Open House to show off the immaculate mansion, a body is discovered in the pool and there is a murder to solve. We read about the events leading up to the open house party and how some agents are not beneath being vindictive and malicious to try and get the sale.
Overall, the book was an attention holder. I liked the fact the setting and characters were a bit different. I did not see the end twist coming which is unusual for me! lol
Four solid stars!! Thank you to NetGalley, Thomas & Mercer and Amazon Publishing UK for the ARC copy to read and review!
Watch for publication date of August 14, 2023!
PS - love the cover, was what caught my attention!

Unveiling Secrets and Suspense: A Million-Dollar Thrill Ride in 'To Die For' by Lisa Gray!
"To Die For" by Lisa Gray is a thrilling story set in the competitive world of luxury real estate, where agents vie for a million-dollar commission by selling a glamorous Malibu beach house. Protagonist Andi Hart, along with her colleagues, becomes entangled in a web of secrets and deceit as they compete to secure the prize. When a dead body is discovered at the open house, the competition takes a dark and dangerous turn. The book features a diverse cast of characters, each with their own hidden agendas, making for a suspenseful and intriguing read.
The audio version of this book was actually nice and which I recommend as the different characters do have different voices which gives a better perspective on the story telling.
Overall, this was fast-paced and kept my engaged from start to finish. I think there were areas this could have been shortened overall. I do recommend reading this book if you’re wanting a thriller and a quick read.

A solid thriller that reminded me of an insane reality TV show.
This was a fun little book. It’s a little campy and a lot stereotypical but it was a fun read. In the cut-throat world of Southern California real estate, what would realtors do to snag a very lucrative deal? Apparently some would do just about anything in a firm full of dirty secrets. This felt like an episode of a detective show you might watch on an evening in.
