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?
