Genre - Mystery
This author (well, authors - Nicci French is a pseudonym for two journalists) is a master of psychological thrillers, and is my favourite writer to come out of England. These standalone novels take ordinary people living ordinary lives, and turn their existence into the stuff of very real nightmares.
In this book, cycle courier Astrid Bell’s neighbour is murdered, and a random client of Astrid’s is dead when she arrives to collect a package. But it’s a third murder that leads the police to believe that there is no such thing as coincidence in this case.
The book was quite a cracker, until it switched to the POV of the culprit - then there was a rehash of the events through the killer’s eyes. While it was nice to read some explanation, it didn’t seem entirely necessary. Nevertheless, I’m eagerly awaiting the author’s next book.
