Publisher Description
From the internationally bestselling author of the Frieda Klein series, Nicci French, comes this steamy and suspenseful stand-alone thriller about a group of housemates who must determine the killer among them when a series of murders occur.
Be careful of the ones closest to you…
London cycle courier Astrid Bell has known most of her housemates for years, but while they have a tangled history together—romantic pairings, one-night stands, friendships—they each have secrets.
Astrid is on her way home one day when her neighbor accidentally knocks her off her bike. Suffering a few bruises, her roommates help her home. The next day, they learn that same neighbor was bludgeoned to death only hours after the accident. Each of them tells the police what little they know and are dismissed. Then a few days later, Astrid is asked to pick up a package from a wealthy woman called Ingrid de Soto. When she arrives, the client is lying in the hall of her luxurious home—and it’s apparent she’s also been murdered.
For the police, it’s more than bad luck. For Astrid and her six housemates, it's the beginning of a nightmare: suspicious glances, bitter accusations, and a growing fear that the worst is yet to come.
As the difference between friend and stranger grows harder to judge, the line between attraction and danger thins. The housemates—unsure if there’s a killer in their midst—guard themselves against becoming the next victim. Because if it’s true that bad luck comes in threes—who will be the next to die?

"This book kept me hooked until its last word! Though the Epilogue was a huge let down, it really kept the fast pace and swallowed me whole with its metaphors and precise language. I definitely recommend this to whoever comes across it! :) "

" Didn't finish this one. Thumbs down when it switched to the voice of the murderer. "
— Susan, 1/23/2014 -

" That's it. So far, there's no desire to find this writer's other books to read. "
— BaiLing, 12/22/2013 -
" Lekker vlot geschreven. Spannend. Ook al had ik al snel een vermoeden wie de dader was, maakt dat voor het boek niets uit. In een ruk uigelezen. Toch wel lekker soms een spannnend boek "
— Linjea, 12/10/2013 -
" This is the first mystery I've ever read where I guessed the murderer correctly. I'm usually awful at it, but this was pretty straight forward, and therefore disappointing. "
— Cass, 12/7/2013 -
" Gelezen in het NL (Tot het voorbij is). "

" A nice little mystery -- very light read. "
— Dona, 2/16/2013 -
" Ok, got a bit bored with the second half of the book, as it told the same story from the murderer's point of view, but it was gripping enough and I liked the main character enough to want to know what happened. Not bad "
— Carey, 8/27/2012 -
" This book kept me hooked until its last word! Though the Epilogue was a huge let down, it really kept the fast pace and swallowed me whole with its metaphors and precise language. I definitely recommend this to whoever comes across it! :) "
— Valerie, 5/31/2012 -
" Nicci French is actually the husband and wife team of Nicci Gerrard and Sean French, who have written several suspense novels. I have read them all, and this is another winner. "
— Maryellen, 5/31/2012 -
" It was goood, really gripping but a bit confusing at times and some of the descriptions was a bit repeated but overall I enjoyed it! "
— Faye, 5/27/2012 -
" Kept me interested but a bit slow at times "
— Poppy, 5/9/2012 -
" A solid story that's still a little predictable. But the characters (a large group of roommates) are all well written, and the sudden jump in the second half from the protagonist's POV to the killer's is a good addition. "
— Ben, 3/13/2012 -
" Nothing special to say, I just loved this book ! "
— Anne, 12/6/2011 -

— Arman, 4/3/2011 -
" The same story is told twice, the second time by the killer! I liked that idea. "
— Iris, 3/19/2011 -
" Honestly, I never cared about ANY of the characters. Plus there were too damn many of them! <br/><br/>And a big annoyance: So Owen was taking photos at the yard sale. WHY did no one ever think to look at what he might have captured? "
— Christina, 3/10/2011 -
" One of their best, I couldn't bear to put it down! "
— Aileen, 12/2/2010 -
" An easy to read mystery in typical Nicci French Style. Gripping and fun and No, I had no idea who had dunnit in the first half. It then changed the voice telling the story with another suprise at the end. "
— Julie, 9/29/2010 -
" My first time reading Nicci French books. I enjoyed the book very much and would read more of their books :) "
— Sue, 9/4/2010 -
" 7 people live in a house together; they think they know each other, but do they really? <br/> <br/>3 deaths strike close to their home and their is one person in the house that found all 3 bodies; Astrid. <br/> <br/>Are these murders connected to her? <br/> <br/> "
