Warning: this piece contains spoilers from the Killing Eve season four finale.

As an author, it’s a thrill having your work adapted for TV, as my Killing Eve novels were. You’re never going to love everything the screenwriting team does, that’s a given. You’re too close to the characters. You’ve lived with them in your head for far too long. But it’s a thrill to see your story taken in unexpected directions, overlaid with a great soundtrack (thank you David Holmes and Unloved) and dressed fantastically (that unforgettable pink tulle dress by Molly Goddard).
