by NicciFrench (Author)
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?

Praise for Nicci French and Losing You
Lose yourself in this smart nail-biter of a tale about a mother's desperate search for her missing teenage daughter.
- People
Seamless first-person account. . . . This engrossing read captures the importance of the often overlooked and underappreciated minutiae of everyday life while commanding a deeply personal reaction in readers.
- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The novel's greatest strength is its cool-eyed portrait of an English village.
- The Washington Post
What gives Losing You its chief distinction . . . is its unusually emotive color and its flinty protagonist, who, like any mother, understands that no one can possibly care as much about her child as she does. Nina is the parent we'd all like to be under duress, and I find I've become nearly as protective of her as she is of her daughter.
