The basis of BBC America's April 2018 release "Killing Eve," starring Sandra Oh--A stylish game of spy vs. spy played by Villanelle, a peerless international assassin, and Eve, the fiercely intelligent MI6 analyst whose mission is to take her out
Villanelle (a codename, of course) is one of the world's most skilled assassins. A catlike psychopath whose love for the creature comforts of her luxurious lifestyle is second only to her love of the game, she specializes in murdering the world's richest and most powerful. But when she murders an influential Russian politician, she draws a relentless foe to her tail.
Eve Polastri (not a codename) is a former MI6 operative hired by the national security services for a singular task: to find and capture or kill the assassin responsible, and those who have aided her. Eve, whose quiet and otherwise unextraordinary life belies her quick wit and keen intellect, accepts the mission.
The ensuing chase will lead them on a trail around the world, intersecting with corrupt governments and powerful criminal organizations, all leading towards a final confrontation from which neither will emerge unscathed. Codename Villanelle is a sleek, fast-paced international thriller from an exciting new voice in fiction.
Luke Jennings is the author of the memoir Blood Knots, short-listed for the Samuel Johnson and William Hill prizes, and of several novels, including the Booker Prize-nominated Atlantic. As a journalist he has written for The Observer, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker and Time.

看完瞭 介紹瞭v的童年 6個月訓練的過程 沒有eve這個角色 我覺得應該還有其他這個係列的作品
评分比較平鋪直敘的小說。沒有特彆強的plot,但是對Villanelle的設定做瞭很詳細的描述,如果對小變態感興趣可以去讀一下。
评分漫長的前戲...
评分失望瞭,不過不充瞭V的背景也是不錯的吧……還是劇好看!!!
评分“One of the things she’s always loved about Niko is that none of these things matter to him,either.Yet he makes her feel beautiful,at the most ordinary of moments—when she’s getting dressed,or climbing out of the bath—she catches him gazing at her with a tenderness that pierces her to the heart." Want to say these to Mark after finish reading this.
