Codename Villanelle (Killing Eve, #1)

by Luke Jennings

Over the course of her twenty-six-year lifespan she has acquired a vast repertoire of such expressions. Tenderness, sympathy, distress, guilt, shock, sadness… Villanelle has never actually experienced any such emotions, but she can simulate them all.

She tries to speak Alice’s name but it comes out as Anna, and when she tries to whisper “fuck me,” what she actually says is “kill me.”
