About this listen

She is the perfect assassin.

A Russian orphan, saved from the death penalty for the brutal revenge she took on her gangster father's killers.

Ruthlessly trained. Given a new life. New names, new faces - whichever fits.

Her paymasters call themselves The Twelve. But she knows nothing of them. Konstantin is the man who saved her and the one she answers to.

She is Villanelle. Without conscience. Without guilt. Without weakness.

Eve Polastri is the woman who hunts her. MI5, until one error of judgment costs her everything.

Then stopping a ruthless assassin becomes more than her job. It becomes personal.

I love the show Killing Eve, so I decided to try the books it's based on. It's not bad, but it's not my thing. Probably great if you're already into espionage books, but if you're just coming from the show, it doesn't really have the same feel.

Not my cup of tea

Very different from the show. Eve isn't as infatuated with Villenelle, in any romantic way. Cant wait to read how it ends in No Tomorrow.

I really enjoyed this!

Awesome Book

But more? Now all I have is the teleplays. Somewhat anticlimactic...
Need some more stories. This is a different story arc from the teleplays.

This first one is slower than the series takes place. there are so many differences in the stories but if you are a huge fan, especially of V, i highly recommend. we get so much more into her brain than in the series, i liked the sections on her training & i personally like the expression of her sexuality.

Slower than the series
