In my opinion this is one of the few books that is completely outclassed by the adaptation.
Jeffrey Schmieder
I think both are quality productions, I do like some aspects of the book better, like it goes deeper into Villainelle's past and because the author isn't restricted by film and production costs, there is more globe trotting in the novel. The assassin actress in the TV show is much more vibrant and alive than her book counterpart.

Yes but the plot is different. The characters are all there but it has a very different ending.
