    About this audiobook

    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 ison 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.

      Great story line throughly enjoyed the book with all its plots
    • 4/5
      UNTIL IT’S OVER is written by Nicci French. Nicci French is the ‘pen name’ of English husband and wife writing team, Nicci Gerrard and Sean French. They specialize in the psychological thriller. My personal favorite is their Frieda Klein series.In UNTIL IT’S OVER, a group of London housemates are pitted against each other as one of the housemates, Astrid Bell, is connected to three murder scenes. If Astrid didn’t commit the murders, who among them did?I like the way the book is set up, with Part I identifying with Astrid - learning about her, her work and her connection (or lack of) to the murdered individuals. The house occupants and their relationships with each other are defined.Part II is told from the perspective of the killer. IS it Astrid? One of the housemates? We don’t really know until the end.UNTIL IT”S OVER is very tense, very suspenseful, very well-plotted. Some of the characters are more ‘fleshed-out’ than others and the police detectives investigating the case aren’t very well-developed (in my opinion).I do like this writing team and especially the genre. ****

      READ IN DUTCH

      I've read most of the Nicci French novels as I always seem to get them as a Birthday present. I liked some of the earlier books, but lately they don't seem to be as good as they used to.
      This one seems to be a bit moderate. I found the first part okay, but thought it to be a bit stupid to tell the exact story again from the killers view, this could have been simultaneously or maybe just a hole book in killers perspective. That would be a nice change from time to time. Anyway, this is not one of my favorites, not one of the worst I read by Nicci French either.
    • 4/5
      An excellent thriller! Can't wait to read another by this author (pseudonym for a wife and husband writing team--cool!).
    • 5/5
      Brilliant! Nicci French 'is' back to their old format - quirky psychological thrillers which are immensely readable.
    • 4/5
      Another great thriller from Nicci French, perhaps not as taut as some of her earlier books but a good read. Bicycle courier Astrid Bell lives with six housemates in an old house in London. A neighbour is bludgeoned to death shortly after she accidentally knocks Astrid off her bicycle. A few days later, Astrid is sent to pick up a package from a home in a luxurious area of London and finds the client murdered. The only connection between the cases is Astrid and the police focus their enquiry on her and her flatmates exacerbating tensions among the group and creating a nice creepy psychological drama.
    • 3/5
      Astrid Bell works as a bike messenger in London. One day she's biking home and a neighbor opens the car door without looking injuring Astrid and damaging her bike.She lives with a group of odd ball friends and they all have different opinions. But later on in the night where Astrid is injured, someone beats up and kills the neighbor.Astrid is questioned and she begins looking into the crime with her roommates.When Astrid returns to work, she's collecting a package and finds the homeowner, another woman, murdered.Astrid's roommates console her and begin the debate as to who killed the women. Pippa, Mick, Niles and Dario are the roommates. They move in and out of romantic connections with each other.The characters are bizzare and the novel was a bit absurd but okay for a quick read.
    • 2/5
      An ok read, although didn't think it was a really good pyschological thriller as it was supposed to be.
