Recenzii

A short howitzer of a novel . . . Jennings writes at supersonic speed, packing in an impressive number of violent set pieces and sex scenes. The breakneck pace is undeniably addictive but he also displays an offbeat sense of humour
A memorable protagonist . . . there is an extra sheen of glamour that makes Villanelle more a James Bond than a mere killer
Exciting and fun
Like Ian Fleming, Jennings is at once tongue-in-cheek and serious . . . His version of 007 is great fun
Reads a little like Terry Hayes's I Am Pilgrim in miniature . . . the final pages are thrilling
Racy in several senses and gripping from the word go, you can also see why BBC America commissioned a television version of Jennings's sensational thriller
Topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse
