If you accept this as an easy beach read it’s enjoyable and quick. If you want a serious spy novel this is definitely not the one for you. Some parts were totally ridiculous (i.e. trying to guess a security agent’s password and some of the descriptions of Eve and Villanelle) but I just laughed and continued. I can’t say it’s a good quality book but I may still read the others to see where they go!

A good read and quite short but not as amazing as the TV series killing eve. Definitely worth a read but better not to get your hopes up

Text is okay, audiobook is better (the narrator was fantastic), show is best. Probably won’t read the sequels.
