Codename Villanelle (Killing Eve Book One) by Luke Jennings



Read February 2019.

Villanelle is a cold blooded assassin, living the high life and working for a secret organisation, called The Twelve.
She comes to the attention of the British Secret Service, after killing a Russian dissident in London.
Eve Polastri, whose job it was to ensure the dissident was protected, becomes the scapegoat for this assassination, but her instincts about the assassin mean she is secretly hired to try to track Villanelle down.
So begins a game of cat and mouse between Eve and Villanelle, but who is the cat and who is the mouse?

I missed the hype surrounding the BBC adaptation of this book, Killing Eve, when it was on last year, although I have caught up with it since and can tell you it is worth the hype. The book is good though, and you find yourself rooting for Villanelle much more that you do in the tv show.
