Until it's over - Nicci French

I'm preparing a book report about the book "Until it's over" by Nicci French. I chose this book because I think it's a very exciting book. The first chapter wasn't so easy to understand but the rest was fine.


The main actor in the book is Astrid Bell. She is a young and athletic cycling courier in London and she shares a big house with six housemates. But Astrid is bad luck for other people. Her neighbour Peggy Farrell, who knocked her off her bike, was found between the dustbins a few days later. Dead.
Some days later Astrid is asked to pick up a package from a woman Ingrid de Soto - and found her dead in the hall.
Of course the police is suspecting Astrid, especially when the girlfriend of her ex-lover and housemate is found dead.
In the end Astrid's ex-lover Miles is arrested.
You may think the story is over now and the book has finished ... oh you are the way off!!! :]

The author "Nicci French" isn't one person. It is a composition of the two famous jounalists Nicci Gerrard und Sean French. They both live in London.

Nicci Gerrard was born in 1958 in Worcestershire/Shropshire, she studied English literature in Oxford and worked as a teacher in Los Angeles.
Her Partner Sean French was born in 1956 in Bistrol. He studied English literature as well and won the price of the "vogue Magazine" for the best young author.
Some other books from "Nicci French" are:

• Killing me softly
• The red room
• Losing you
• ...

I really liked the book. It's written in an interesting style and I like stories where you have to use your brain to follow.
