Luke Jennings is a British author and journalist, best known for the Killing Eve trilogy (2017–2020), which inspired the award-winning television series starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer. He is also the author of the memoir Blood Knots (2010), which was shortlisted for the BBC Samuel Johnson Prize and the William Hill Prize.
Luke Jennings began his career in the arts as a professional dancer. He later became The Observer’s dance critic and co-authored The Faber Pocket Guide to Ballet (2014) with Deborah Bull. He has written for Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and Time, developing a career marked by a diverse range of subjects and interests. As Jennings put it, “Fishing, ballet, espionage, murder… Is there a link? Something to do with symbolic activities and the secret life, perhaps?”
He published his first novel, Breach Candy, in 1993, followed by Atlantic (1995), which was nominated for the Booker Prize. Beauty Story (1998) was his third novel. He contributed research and writing support for At Risk (2004) by Stella Rimington. In 2010, he published Blood Knots: Of Fathers, Friendship and Fishing, a memoir exploring childhood, paternal bonds, and the story of a friend killed by the IRA.
Between 2014 and 2016, Jennings released a series of novellas that were later compiled as Codename Villanelle (2017). This became the basis for the Killing Eve television series. Jennings was involved in the early stages of adaptation, including meetings with screenwriter Phoebe Waller-Bridge. He later published two sequels, Killing Eve: No Tomorrow (2018) and Killing Eve: Die For Me (2020).
“In Killing Eve, I wanted to ask the question the Devil asks of Faust,” Jennings said, “If I give you everything you ever dreamed of, will you give me your soul?”
He co-authored the Stars series of youth fiction with his daughter Laura around 2013. In 2021, he contributed the short story Homecoming to the angling anthology Lifelines.
Currently, Jennings is publishing Killing Eve: Resurrection as a serialised novel on Substack. He describes it as a return to his characters “for the sheer joy of being back with them.”

Citações
Music, for Villanelle, is at best a pointless irritation and at worst a lethal danger. In silence lies safety.
