So, (you guessed it!) the book centers around the mutual obsession between two women, MI6 agent, Eve Polastri, and Russian assassin, Villanelle. The little credit that comes up on each episode saying “Based on the books by” that’s my man, Luke Jennings. No Tomorrow is the follow-up to Codename Villanelle, the novel that BCC America’s Killing Eve is based on. I’m too easily distracted by my girlfriend. Reading without annotations perfectly fine? Probably. (book 1) was a pretty dense (but great!) read and I was not reading my ownĬopy so I could not annotate it. Catch up on my last book review of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeannette Winterson.įirst, let me point out that yes, this is the second book in the Killing Eve trilogy and no, I did not With a second season about to air in April and the coming release of the second book in Luke Jennings's Codename Villanelle series, it is clear Eve and Villanelle - the MI6 operative and the talented assassin she is tracking - will be with us a while longer.Queer book review! All reviews touch on genre/plot, tropes (if any), and quality of gay content, and include both spoilerish and spoiler-light versions. 'When Killing Eve crashed on our screens last year, it felt like a breath of fresh air: a feisty and funny entry in the recent revival of the staid, stuffy and overwhelmingly masculine spy genre. Shortlisted for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award Jennings provides plenty of spy craft and scenic and sensual atmosphere laced with betrayal in this adrenaline-fueled sequel to Killing Eve: Codename Villanelle, the book that spawned the BBC America series.'- Booklist Nonstop action moves between London, Venice, Paris, Moscow, and the Swiss Alps, as the two women track each other, and amoral Villanelle continues her murderous ways.

'The obsessive relationship between the two women deepens. This espionage romp keeps readers slightly off balance as it brilliantly walks the line between thriller and spoof-and readers will find the experience irresistible.'- Shelf Awareness 'But it's all good, nasty fun for lovers of James Bond and Modesty Blaise-although Jennings is much more sexually explicit than Ian Fleming or Peter O'Donnell. There is an extra sheen of glamor that makes Villanelle more a James Bond than a mere killer.'- The Daily Mail (UK) His version of 007 is great fun.'- Sunday Times (UK) 'Like Ian Fleming, Jennings is at once tongue-in-cheek and serious.
