Does anyone do the satirization of stuck-up suburban values as originally and/or as brutally entertaining as John Waters? Most other directors would have turned this into a threadbare lecture that refused to have any sort of fun. But here we have this beautiful concoction of B-movie theatrics, gore, pitch-perfect performances, jovial filth, rock-solid lampooning, and A1 comedy - so lovingly inspired by low-budget camp and slashers of the 60s-80s that it honestly could pass off as one in many respects. Kathleen Turner is a live wire - in one of the most religiously entertaining female performances of all time, it has a blast radius that would make a military warhead quake. This is the type of role that just demands your attention, perpetually switching between these polar opposite demeanors at the drop of a hat with expert-level talent and all game for the ensuing absurdity. Which on its own would have been enough to carry 93 minutes of fun but then the film is also super clever and uproarious without rest. Had an ear-to-ear smile on my face for most of the runtime and laughed so often that my mouth began to give out mid-laugh due to the muscles simply being too worn out from overwork. Quotable as fuck and every scene is memorable, a total killer.

Long before the solstice was a date on a screen, the people of Wales knew midsummer by feel, by the particular quality of the evening light, by the way the air carried the smell of meadowsweet and warm stone, by a sense that something in the land had shifted and was holding its breath.

Bonfires were kindled on hilltops in the days around the solstice, not out of superstition but out of something more like gratitude, a way of meeting the light at its fullest and sending it onward. Sacred wells were visited in the early morning hours, the water believed to carry unusual potency during the long midsummer days, capable of healing and of revealing what was ordinarily hidden. Herbs gathered in this season โ€” vervain, St John's wort, elder flower โ€” were thought to hold more virtue than at any other time of year.

There was also a watchfulness to these traditions, a sense that the line between this world and the world beneath or beyond it was thinner at midsummer than at almost any other point in the year. Not the dramatic thinning of winter, cold and strange, but something gentler and more dangerous, a warm, golden permeability, the kind that could lead a person astray without them ever realising they had wandered.

Wales always knew that summer has its own magic, and that it does not announce itself loudly.

I didnโ€™t think that this series could possibly get better but it did. And Iโ€™m so glad that itโ€™s turning out better than the TV series which I absolutely adore. Thatโ€™s why I have to rate it 4.5.
We pick up exactly where we left off, with the person that Eve has identified as an informant and from there things quickly go wrong. Eve comes face to face with Villanelle before she abducts the person that Eve has just been interrogating.
We also see more of what Villanelle does best - her planned assassinations and watch her plan them out and play out either as expected or completely the opposite way to the plan. But whichever way they turn out, it is thrilling to read how Villanelle manages everything within her stride.
Eve starts to learn more about Villanelle and through a lot of investigating she works out Villanelleโ€™s codename, although people donโ€™t believe her, on a hunch. Eve is always a couple of steps behind Villanelle which she finds both frustrating and exhilarating, and Villanelle enjoys leading the chase.
The twist at the end of the book is not exactly what I expected, but nonetheless it made me want to carry on reading and before I knew it I was at the end of the book! Iโ€™m excited to read the next instalment in the series as I feel that it will be even better than this book.
