De: Luke Jennings

Narrado por: Lucy Paterson

The brand new instalment in the explosive, obsessive Killing Eve series - the inspiration behind the BAFTA-winning drama starring Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh.

'This twisty, jaw-dropping tale kept me gripped from beginning to end.' — International bestselling author Tess Gerritsen

All these battle scars, my love… You're running out of lives.

Determined to escape the iron shackles of the Twelve, Eve and Oxana are trying something new. Something risky, even for them. They're going freelance.

Their first client, sent their way by MI5, is Majid Ismailov. An international power player and an important friend to Britain, Majid is also a passionate racehorse owner with his eye on the racing calendar's most fiercely contested prize - the Prix de Arc de Triomphe, run annually in Paris.

When one of Majid's prize fillies is stolen from his Newmarket stable, Eve and Oxana enter a world new to both of them. What at first appears to be an amateurish ransom attempt is gradually revealed as something more sinister. A carefully plotted move in a superpower chess game.

Meanwhile Oxana has a deadly secret of her own, a secret that threatens her already volatile relationship with Eve. Can she contain the violence within her before it destroys them both?

⭐️ Praise for the bestselling series ⭐️

'Villanelle is one of the most entrancing characters ever created, simultaneously a heroine and villain, both fascinating and frightening. This twisty, jaw-dropping tale kept me gripped from beginning to end.' — International bestselling author Tess Gerritsen

Somehow Luke Jennings does it again: makes you root for a psychopath and the woman who will share her life provided they dodge bullets and her own murderous impulses - Author and journalist Catherine Mayer

Topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse ― Sunday Express

A memorable protagonist . . . there is an extra sheen of glamour that makes Villanelle more a James Bond than a mere killer ― Daily Mail

Like Ian Fleming, Jennings is at once tongue-in-cheek and serious . . . His version of 007 is great fun ― Sunday Times

A short howitzer of a novel . . . Jennings writes at supersonic speed, packing in an impressive number of violent set pieces and sex scenes. The breakneck pace is undeniably addictive but he also displays an offbeat sense of humour ― Metro

Exciting and fun ― Daily Express

Reads a little like Terry Hayes's I Am Pilgrim in miniature . . . the final pages are thrilling ― The Spectator

Racy in several senses and gripping from the word go, you can also see why BBC America commissioned a television version of Jennings's sensational thriller ― Radio Times

Character voices

I liked that each character sounded like i thought they sounded. Having see Villanelle and Eve on series helped

Racing horses made for a fun twist.

It gave me more of what I wanted! I felt delighted in getting more of Eve and Villanelle’s life. I think everyone will love this fun new twist. Yes, nothing beats their origin story from the earlier books. If you’re hoping for more push and pull, it won’t be that. There’s definitely some really fun twists and turns, but in a very expected transition of their life.
Excited for the next book Luke!!! Please find more inspirations as I love your research and the connection between characters.

Exciting Book 5

I'm so glad Jennings is writing Killing Eve again. When he returned with Book 4 he added instrospection of the characters - we hear their inner thoughts. He has continued that in Book 5. This adventure bridges Eve and V between The 12, MI6, wealthy oligarcs, and local police.

Even better--by the end you are sure there is going to be a Book 6.
