Really liked the assassin character, but it tried to go too many places and do too much. Not bad, not great.

An exciting read full of action and intrigue of the intelligence world with a ruthless and complex killer at its center. I haven't seen the TV series and don't particularly want to but I do look forward to this book's sequel.

Uh, this is such a disastrous book… DNF. How could they make a decent tv show out of this stuff is a mystery to me.

It was cool reading the book the show is based on but the characters in the show are much more fleshed out and complex.

After watching Killing Eve and being so devastated by its ending, I felt I just had to read the book. After reading several reviews prior, I had very little expectation. While I may never read its sequels, I don't think this book deserves ALL of the flak that it gets. I definitely give credit to anyone who dislikes the book for all of its weird sexuality--I would be willing to state that Villanelle has sex at least once every time in her point-of-view. Sometimes, it felt a bit like Luke Jennings's fantasies. Regardless, for what this book is, a mystery/crime book, it served its purpose well enough. Being a short read, it was easy to get through and fast-paced.
If you just want to read more of Villanelle and Eve's nonsense, I can recommend. Although, I'll warn that they do not properly meet each other in this installment.
