In the early twentieth century it was home to a mental institution where, Venetians say, patients were subjected to sinister experiments. The Venice lagoon is shallow, with an average depth of ten metres, but there are declivities of more than twice this…in the eighteenth & nineteenth centuries Poveglia was a quarantine station for the crews of ships harbouring the plague. The great relationship/obsession between the two main characters is so well done. The book speeds a long at a great pace, with great action, great pace, some violence, some laugh out loud moments, and as we get to end some great twists and surprises. It is two things, the enormous humour that is added to these books especially Villanelle, a reckless but very interesting assassin and of course Eve, not your typical M16 agent,in fact you cannot get further away from an agent, but it works. What do I love about this book and the series, especially in the books. The duel between the two women intensifies, as does their mutual obsession, and when the action moves from the high passes of the Tyrol to the heart of Russia, Eve finally begins to unwrap the enigma of her adversary's true identity. As Eve interrogates her subject, desperately trying to fit the pieces of the puzzle together, Villanelle moves in for the kill. In a hotel room in Venice, where she's just completed a routine assassination, Villanelle receives a late-night call.Įve Polastri has discovered that a senior MI5 officer is in the pay of the Twelve, and is about to debrief him. I was so excited to read and review this book, after just finishing watching 'Killing Eve'Ī thrilling duel between Villanelle, an elite female assassin, and Eve Polastri, the MI6 agent who is tasked with hunting her down.

Thank you so much to Net Galley, The publishers and the author for an ARC copy for review.
