Killing Eve writer Luke Jennings outlines his mission to write a thriller for our times, in this extract from an hour-long conversation for Big Book Weekend.

Killing Eve started life as a series of self-published novellas with an avid audience of devoted fans, before becoming one of the biggest TV hits of the last two years. Crime novelist Sarah Hilary quizzes author Luke Jennings on what drove him to create a female-centred thriller that shook up the genre.
