''A dazzling thriller . . . mightily entertaining''
Trade Review
Enthralling . . . deftly shaped towards an excellent denouement in which both women revolt against their male bosses and the organisations behind them * Sunday Times, Thriller of the Month *
Forget the overrated TV series, Luke Jennings's tales of Sapphic slapstick work better on the page and this sequel to Codename Villanelle ignores the events of Phoebe Waller-Bridge's adaptation. Like his remarkable crackpot assassin, Jennings goes his own sweet way. Once again the reader is treated to a banquet of minced spies. The echoes of Ian Fleming and John le Carré are deafening and the ensuing double-crossing and switch-hitting outspoofs them both * Evening Standard *
The bizarre love-hate relationship between MI5's Eve Polastri and sexy assassin Villanelle has inspired a great TV series, but it is just as much fun on the page * Daily Express *
