Synopses & Reviews
Astrid Bell has known most of her housemates for years, but while they have a tangled history together--romantic pairings, one-night stands, friendships--each of them also has a past.
Astrid is on her way home one day when her neighbor accidentally knocks her off her bike. Bruised but not broken, her roommates help her home. The next day, they learn that same neighbor was beaten to death only hours after the accident. Each of them tells the police what little they know and are dismissed--until Astrid stumbles over another body. Two brutal murders in less than a week is more than just bad luck.
As the difference between friend and stranger grows harder to judge, and as the line between attraction and danger thins, the housemates--unsure if there's a killer in their midst--guard against becoming his next victim in this steamy and suspenseful thriller from internationally bestselling author Nicci French.
Synopsis
Until It's Over is a riveting psychological thriller from the Top Ten bestselling author, Nicci French
DEAD. UNLUCKY.
Cycle courier Astrid Bell is bad luck - for other people. First Astrid's neighbour Peggy accidentally knocks her off her bike - and not long after is found bludgeoned to death in an alley. Then a few days later, Astrid is asked to pick up a package - only to find the client slashed to pieces in the hall of her own home.
For the police it's more than coincidence. For Astrid and her six housemates it's just the beginning of a nightmare - the growing suspicion that the worst is yet to come.
Because if it's true that bad luck comes in threes - who will be next to die?
