Story
Lei è l'assassina perfetta. Un'orfana russa salvata dalla pena di morte alla quale era stata condannata per essersi brutalmente vendicata contro i killer che avevano ucciso suo padre. Addestrata a essere spietata, le è stata data una nuova vita, una nuova identità. I mandanti che la pagano (profumatamente) si fanno chiamare i Dodici. Lei non sa nulla di loro, risponde solo a Konstantin, l'uomo che di volta in volta le affida le missioni. Lei è Villanelle. Una sociopatica vera, bellissima e irresistibile. Ossessionata dalla moda.

Meet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s handsome and charming, but something in his past has made him abide by a different set of rules. He’s a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likeable: he only kills bad people. And his job as a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department puts him in the perfect position to identify his victims. But when a series of brutal murders bearing a striking similarity to his own style start turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered and being frightened - of himself or some other fiend.

After all, could he have spent his life with someone who has a bad record collection?

The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.

Warning: Not full novel
I bought this book once I was able to borrow a hardcover from the library with the hopes of being able to switch between audio and physical copies with ease. Unfortunately, the audio is of the first chapter only. I am not sure why it is the first chapter. At first, I thought the book hadn't finished downloading, but that waa not the case. I wish I had known about the lack of chapters, no where in the summary does it state it's not the full novel except for the short run time. For the chapter I did get, I enjoyed.

Entertaining but disappointing
I wanted to like this but can only give it 3 stars for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it isn't the complete book. I've read Codename Villanelle & was disappointed to find that the audio book stops less than 1/2 way through. Some investigation shows that the book was originally 4 kindle singles then released as 1 book but the audio is only 1 of the singles. If you're going to do that you need to make it very clear & not call the whole book the same name as 1 of the singles to avoid confusion.
Secondly, the narrator was just wrong for the book. I actually really liked her, thought she did a good job, & will actively look out for her in a the future, but she was all wrong for a this. The main character here is ice cold, arguably a sociopath. Anytime she interacts with anyone she is manipulating them and it's all on her terms. The narrator just couldn't pull that off, she was too personable, too nice.
I found the audiobook to be entertaining & if it had been the whole book (or cheaper) I probably would have given it 4 stars, but overall it was a little disappointing.

Watch the TV shows - they are better
I did not like the narrator, or the style of the writing with its overuse of superlatives. The main character seems implausibly to hover between full on psychopathy and caring about her pursuer. This is just about bearable in the TV show, but not so when this is explained in more detail in the book at least this saved me ordering the other 2
