PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Luke Jennings is a London-based author and journalist who has written for the Observer, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker and Time. He is the author of Blood Knots, shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson and William Hill prizes, and the Booker Prize-nominated Atlantic.
A short howitzer of a novel . . . Jennings writes at supersonic speed, packing in an impressive number of violent set pieces and sex scenes. The breakneck pace is undeniably addictive but he also displays an offbeat sense of humour * Metro * A memorable protagonist . . . there is an extra sheen of glamour that makes Villanelle more a James Bond than a mere killer * Daily Mail * Exciting and fun * Daily Express * Like Ian Fleming, Jennings is at once tongue-in-cheek and serious . . . His version of 007 is great fun * Sunday Times * Reads a little like Terry Hayes's I Am Pilgrim in miniature . . . the final pages are thrilling * The Spectator *
