Until It's Over by Nicci French

Another fascinating mystery by the writing duo known as Nicci French. The book is divided into two parts. In part one the main character is Astrid Bell. She has been looking for some direction in her life. In the meantime she delivers letters and packages in London on her bike. She lives in a house owned by college friend Miles and inhabited by a variety of new and old roommates. Astrid's life seems pretty mundane until she seems to start attracting dead bodies. The police are actually getting suspicious! How ridiculous.
The second part of the book is written from the killer's point of view. An unusual approach that I liked a lot. Many interesting characters although I really wasn't fond of any of them! No tears were shed during the reading of this book.
