Until it's over

  Amazon

Here’s another psychological thriller from the popular author of Land of the Living (2003) and Losing You(2008), among many others. Astrid Bell is a bike messenger in London. Not long after a neighbor knocks Astrid off her bike with the poorly timed opening of a car door, the neighbor is found dead. Astrid and her roommates are interviewed by the police—Astrid, in particular, is grilled several times. She can’t help feeling the police think she’s somehow involved in the murder, and when, shortly thereafter, she stumbles on another dead body, she’s sure there has to be something more than coincidence at work. Novels by Nicci French—the pseudonym of the husband-and-wife team of Nicci Gerard and Sean French—promise three things: engaging characters, an intricate story, and a sultry atmosphere. This one delivers all three, in spades. --David Pitt

This certainly is a fascinating study of a tale of people sharing a house........ BUT the twist is that the book is divided into two parts - one is the 'sufferer' and the other one is the 'killers' - i think?

Certainly interesting how one persons actions could be construed in one way by one person and in another way by someone else.  The other is it would make you wary of sharing a house with people that you don't really know and is the last bit of milk from the fridge that only thing that people take?
