Somehow Luke Jennings does it again: makes you root for a psychopath and the woman who will share her life provided they dodge bullets and her own murderous impulses - Author and journalist Catherine Mayer
Topples the typical spy-action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse ― Sunday Express
A memorable protagonist . . . there is an extra sheen of glamour that makes Villanelle more a James Bond than a mere killer ― Daily Mail
Like Ian Fleming, Jennings is at once tongue-in-cheek and serious . . . His version of 007 is great fun ― Sunday Times
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
Exciting and fun ― Daily Express
Reads a little like Terry Hayes's I Am Pilgrim in miniature . . . the final pages are thrilling ― The Spectator
Racy in several senses and gripping from the word go, you can also see why BBC America commissioned a television version of Jennings's sensational thriller ― Radio Times

Dead Reckoning - The Still...

Dawn Lee McKenna, Axel Blackwell

The real Florida lies far from the interstates, where there are no dancing mice, bikini-covered beaches, or shopping malls. If you listen closely, beneath the cries of hungry gulls and the rustle of wind through the palm fronds, you might hear it whisper its secrets. 
Lieutenant Evan Caldwell is a man adrift, cut loose from a life he thought he knew. His wife has lain comatose for months, and the accident that put her there has raised questions that she’s unable to answer. Now, with his wife in a nearby hospice, Evan has moved to a boat in the quiet Panhandle town of Port St. Joe, where he works as an investigator with the local sheriff’s office. 
Evan’s hopes for peace and solitude are shattered when the current sheriff is found murdered. Worse, Evan’s put in the position of interim sheriff while he investigates the murder of his former boss. 
Evan keeps coming up with more questions than answers; questions about what really happened in the dark privacy of the swamp, and questions about what really happened to his marriage and his wife. 
As the answers begin to surface, he discovers secrets as deep and twisted as the roots of the ancient cypress trees that litter the landscape - secrets that no one wants revealed.
