The basis for KILLING EVE, now a major BBC TV series, starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer
On the run together, Eve Polastri and the psychopathic Villanelle take refuge in the underworld of St Petersburg. But the Twelve are closing in, as are the Russian security services. As the chess-game intensifies, and the grip of winter tightens, the couple are drawn into a nightmare realm of conspiracy and murder.
Die For Me is a fast-paced, sophisticated thriller but also a poignant tale of love and erotic obsession. As the action races towards its shattering conclusion, can Eve and Villanelle learn to fully trust each other or will their differences destroy them?
Codename Villanelle and No Tomorrow, the first two installments of the Killing Eve series, are out now!

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Jennings's third and final novel featuring sociopathic killer Oxana Vorontsova (aka Villanelle) and MI5 operative Eve Polastri (after 2019's Killing Eve: No Tomorrow), a tie-in with the popular BBC America series Killing Eve, does nothing to make the evolution of Eve from faithful British agent and loving wife into the accomplice and lover of Villanelle remotely plausible. Eve and Villanelle are on the run from the Twelve, criminal masterminds in the James Bond villain mold and Villanelle's former employers. After surviving travel in a shipping container going from England to St. Petersburg, Russia, they luck out by ending up in a warehouse protected by a gang leader, Dasha Kvariani, whom Villanelle knew in prison. Dasha agrees to get them new passports in exchange for carrying out a hit Eve's first but not last venture into deliberate murder, which, like her passion for Villanelle, is psychologically underdeveloped. Thriller fans will find nothing special about the plot twists as the pair try to stay out of the Twelve's grasp. Anyone not already a fan of the TV show can safely take a pass.
