The basis for Killing Eve, now a major BBC TV series, starring Sandra Oh, written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge

'Gloriously exciting' Metro

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.

Originally published as ebook singles: CODENAME VILLANELLE, HOLLOWPOINT, SHANGHAI and ODESSA.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Killing Eve: Codename Villanelle by Luke Jennings is praised for its supersonic pace and packed with violent set pieces and sex scenes, making it undeniably addictive. The book's glamorous protagonist is likened to James Bond with an offbeat sense of humour, providing an exciting and fun read. It draws comparisons to Ian Fleming and Terry Hayes, with the final pages being particularly thrilling, and this gripping thriller explains why it was adapted into a BBC America series. The story features two fiercely intelligent women in an epic game of cat and mouse, adding a fresh twist to the spy-action thriller genre.
