Histoire
Damian Baxter is very rich and dying. He lives alone, attended by chauffeur, butler, cook and a housemaid, a life of everything and nothing. Before he goes he needs to know if he has a living heir. At stake is his fortune - in excess, he reckons, of £500 million. By the time he married he was sterile (the result of adult mumps in his early twenties), but what about before that unfortunate illness? Had he fathered a child as a young man?

In the dying months of World War I, Spanish flu suddenly overwhelmed the world, killing between 50 and 100 million people. Nowhere escaped this common enemy: in Britain, 250,000 people died, and in the United States it was 750,000, while European deaths reached over two million. The numbers are staggering. And yet at the time, news of the danger was suppressed for fear of impacting wartime morale. Behind the numbers are human lives, stories of those who suffered and fought it - in the hospitals and laboratories.

World-renowned Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology, David Nutt, breaks down the science and effect of alcohol on our health, mood, sleep and productivity how it travels through our bodies and brains and explains on a practical level how we can make changes to positively impact our relationship with it and understanding of it, thereby improving our quality of life for the long-term. He examines what the future holds for this normalised drug that governs our society and lives but is becoming increasingly unpopular due to its detrimental impact on our well-being.
Description
She is the perfect assassin.
A Russian orphan, saved from the death penalty for the brutal revenge she took on her gangster father's killers.
Ruthlessly trained. Given a new life. New names, new faces - whichever fits.
Her paymasters call themselves The Twelve. But she knows nothing of them. Konstantin is the man who saved her and the one she answers to.
She is Villanelle. Without conscience. Without guilt. Without weakness.
Eve Polastri is the woman who hunts her. MI5, until one error of judgment costs her everything.
Then stopping a ruthless assassin becomes more than her job. It becomes personal.

My favorite books I have bought from Audible!
I got into this writer's work after watching the stellar TV show "Killing Eve". What I really loved was that although the TV and book's main characters are very alike, the stories are different. The book isn't just a complex rehashed screenplay version of the show. You can read and watch both, and not be experiencing the same stories. Although the show borrows heavily from the books environment and main characters, many parts and stories about Villanelle and Eve are different. To be honest, some of the killings Villanelle carries out in the book, couldn't even be on TV. I was excited about how the characters seem so human; real, confused and conflicted about things they feel they have to do regardless of their feelings. The moral quandary for both the hero and villain, protagonist and antagonist, is fascinating. The narrator was perfect for the story. Her expression, variation and pacing of the storytelling and characters and moods made me feel it was really happening. I went through both audio books "Codename Villanelle" and "No Tomorrow" in less than a week! I often lose interest in a so-so book and never finish them, so this isn't typical for me. Dark, deep, character driven, gritty and engaging books and well worth the money. Hope we'll see more like this soon. I have read a lot of suspense, but there is something unique about the world Jennings creates that draws you into it and you don't want to leave.These are my favorite books I have bought from Audible!

Four and a half stars for WHAT?
Male authors, here's a tip. DON'T WRITE FROM A FEMALE PERSPECTIVE. Please. I beg you.
Luke Jennings' spy/assassin novel has two main characters: Villanelle, the sociopathic Russian ex-convict turned assassin. And Eve, the frumpy yet persistent British detective committed to finding the lady assassin and bringing her to justice. What's going on with these characters? Well, one is sexy with cute clothes. The other is dowdy with cheap clothes. What do they eat? One eats champagne and sushi and caviar, the other is ashamed she doesn't cook. One has no feelings. The other feels guilty that she's solving international crime instead of playing bridge with her husband's friends. Other character traits? Uh . . . none. Because all women think about, apparently, is how they look, what they're wearing, and work.
I just summed up the entire character development in one paragraph. Here's a summary of the entire plot: Villanelle kills people. Eve tries to figure out who she is. The reader gets to find out why she kills her first target - a mafioso, but apparently it's not important whom her future quarries are. She just kills them in clever ways, all of which involve her outfits in some way or another.
This could have been SUCH an amazing story, with rich psychological detail and motivations and some real dimension to both female characters. Nope. Guess not.
The audible narrator is a monotone Brit whose voice varies so little that the listener isn't sure if someone's being murdered or putting on makeup.
What a waste of a credit.

Awesome
I watched the show before I had the pleasure of reading the book. The show was so great that when I heard there was a book series for them I didn’t wait to get a copy of them both. The book has similarities to the show but the book is more sexual and has more details in certain things that the show leaves viewers to wonder about. The show only took certain parts from the book so don’t think because you read the book it will spoil the show or vice versa. I recommend this book to all killing eve fans, it was truly a great read!

Not the Same as the TV Show -- But Worthwhile!
I thought I would read the gook after watching Season 1 on Hulu. I am glad to say that it is not a duplicate of the show's storyline and, if you like the characters on the show, you should enjoy the book. My problem is that Villanelle is "beautiful" but has a visible scar. When in fact to be unnoticeable, it is best to not stand out in any way. Take a look at most models without make-up -- very plain. But it is their ability to be "transformed" that makes them stars. If Villanelle is trying to become an assassin who is internationally known but elusive -- like the Jackal -- this story-line makes sense. And I enjoy Eve's home life. She is accessible and understandable. However, both women need a little more fleshing out in the books and need more twists in the book like the TV show has. I don't like to know where a story is going before the writer gets there, and some of the scenes in the book I can predict too easily.
The narrator has a bit of a hard time keeping accents straight, which becomes a bit irritating. Other than that it is a good performance.

Poor writing and underwhelming plot
I normally don’t read such novels but I heard such positive reviews about this book and the fact that it was turned into a tv series. I found the writing and the plot to be extremely weak and was waiting for something to change my view the entire time with no luck.
Would not recommend it.

Hard to follow via audiobook
Maybe I wasn't in the right headspace to listen to a very intense/detailed audiobook, but I got lost (and then bored) right away. There are a lot of characters to keep track of while listening, and the story line and locations jump around quickly and frequently. Overall, I found the story over-the-top, like a satire of a crime novel. The narrator was excellent, but the content just wasn't for me.
