Killing Eve: Die for Me

De: Luke Jennings

Narrado por: Lucy Paterson

Following the wildly popular BBC America adaption of Codename Villanelle, a high-stakes, addictive installment of Jennings's acclaimed Killing Eve series.
Though the cat and mouse chase between these two lethal adversaries has seemingly ended, the sophisticated, deadly thrill of Eve and Villanelle's relationship is far from over. Told in Jennings's stylish prose, Killing Eve: Endgame is another page-turning chapter in the espionage exploits of Eve and Villanelle.

Awesome

Thrilling and emotionally stirring. Great narration and very hard to put down. thank you author.

Best one yet.

First of all, this is NOT like the show on the BBC. however I can’t not always picture Villanelle as Jodie Comet and Eve as Sandra Oh.
I think this is the best one yet. Eve is a bit of a whiner, but the vibe is overall good and it sets things up nicely for the next book.

The Trend Continues

I wasn't crazy about the last installment of the series but compared to this one it was Michael Connelly or Lee Child. I don't watch the television show but perhaps the reason Villanelle is in freefall is due to the fact that the books are following the show here. Eve Polastri has gone from being a big time cop to being a whimpering, simpering ingenue who can't function without Villanelle at her side. In the beginning Villanelle was a sort of female James Bond, as far as I got in this book she only came off as the queen prisoner of Cell Block H. Thus a series that even at it's best was a trifle cheezy at times, has become a disaster; well anyway that's my opinion; it's possible I might be wrong.

Satisfying ending to a thrilling series

Without spoiling the plot, just wanna note how much I enjoyed this ending. Different interpretations of same characters and story archetypes from the show and I actually like them both, but it’s really nice to have this ending as an alternative to the story of Eve and Oxana. The perspective shift in this entry is interesting too and I think it serves the story more. Plus brilliant narration as always with distinct characterizations of different characters.

TV Series probably should have stuck to the book

A lot of fun with unexpected twists. It’s a great adventure and twisted love story.

Fully satisfying

The three-book story has everything and is enjoyably believable. Lucy Paterson makes it the complete experience. I had listened to the whole series before I realized it was the same person voicing all the characters! Ms Paterson is excellent. Her ability to not only do different voices is unmatched, she does so seamlessly during full conversational exchanges. She really sells all of the individual characters through her vocals.

It is easy to see how Luke Jennings’s stories were made into a series. Too bad the series writers didn’t follow his lead more closely. They had the perfect cast and story but mistakenly thought they could improve on something that was perfect as written.

So Good

All I have to say about the writing, characters and narration is, So damn good!

Completely predictable

Not that great and needs to keep the political opinion out of the story.

Riveting

What was happening next? That's what compelled me to keep listening. So much happens in such a short time and I was so afraid that the ending would be disappointing but it wasn't. It's a great read.

Villanelle is easily one of my favorite characters ever

This was a fun read. “Fully satisfying” is the perfect way to describe it. The part where villanelle says “are you familiar with the term ‘muffin top’” really tickled me.
