Young and athletic, London cycle courier Astrid Bell is bad luck - for other people. First Astrid's neighbour Peggy Farrell 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 from a wealthy woman called Ingrid de Soto, only to find the client murdered in the hall of her luxurious home.
For the police, it's more than coincidence. For Astrid and her six housemates, it's the beginning of a nightmare suspicious glances, bitter accusations, fallings out, and a growing fear that the worst is yet to come. Because it's true that bad luck comes in threes.... Who will be the next to die?

This book by Nicci French is told from two perspectives. The first half is told by Astrid Bell. She is the girl, everyone dreams about, but she does not have her life in order. She is messenger biker, bringing packages and messages to those who order them.The second half is told by the murderer. The second half is the clincher, as the tension builds, we are with the murderer as he plots his way along.Astrid lives in an old house in London with a disparate group of individuals. They all have their stories and we get to know most of them intimately. It seems like a likable group, all of them pay a pittance and supposedly they pitch in and help out with the needs of the house. Miles owns the house, Astrid and Pippa moved in at the same time, roommates from another apartment. Owen, a photographer and loner. Davy works on construction and has a girlfriend Mel. Mick is mostly silent, and Dario is a stoner, selling drugs from the house, though no one knows that until late into the story. Along comes Leah, girlfriend of Miles and upsets the group dynamics. And, then, the murders begin.
Some of the characters in the book were very well developed and we get to know them well. But, others are glossed over. The detectives and police department are filled with unusual characters,and I would have loved to learn more about them. The storyline is new and interesting. Descriptions are proficient and well defined. But, this is too big a story,too much to tell, too many characters to get to know. The dynamics of the characters and their situation are well covered and believable. Too much, too soon, but a story to tell.

Until It Over (Audible Audio Edition) Nicci French Adjoa Andoh Paul Tyma Whole Story Audiobooks Books Reviews
I chose 3 stars as I thought the ending was a bit loose, I would however recommend as a good read.
Another good read from one of my favourite authors. Having grown up in London, I recognise the shared flat scene from those days and it takes me right back there. Tension was maintained throughout the story and the ending was a surprise.
Great book for the murder mystery crowd
Wow! What an incredible book. Love this author. Never disappoints. Never would have guesses who the killer was. Loved the killer's point of view when telling his rendition of things. Sorry when I came to the last page. Wish it would've gone on and on.
I would have rated this book as four-stars if it were not for the very rushed ending. The first 95% of the books flows very well, with lots of twists and turns (in true Nicci French style). But the end came very fast and seemed rushed, leaving far too many questions unanswered.
The first part of this book, happily the longest, was a great build-up. Astrid is a sympathetic character, but I had to make a list of the names (and occupations, if any) of the rest to keep track of who is who. The atmosphere was well written and the story keeps you reading.
The second part, and I hope it's not a spoiler, was a great letdown. I wonder whether these parts were written separately, perhaps the first by Nicci and the second by French. In any case, the coincidences were just not believable and the character/narrator a cardboard cut-out. The final resolution was just too pat for my taste. Too bad. But I think I will try another book by this team and hope it will be good all the way through.
