Luke Jennings

Jennings' 2018 book Codename Villanelle, a compilation of three serial Kindle edition novellas published between 2014–2016, was the basis for BBC America's Killing Eve television series. Though his 2019 sequel Killing Eve: No Tomorrow diverged from the television show, the books and show are said to "share common DNA" because of Jennings' continued collaboration with the show's creators. A third volume of the Villanelle series, Killing Eve: Endgame, was released on March 19, 2020.

Blood Knots: Of Fathers, Friendship and Fishing—a 2010 memoir about fishing, and about "childhood innocence, paternal love, and his friendship with the charismatic, enigmatic" man who was later killed by the IRA while working as an intelligence officer in Ireland—was shortlisted for the 2010 BBC Samuel Johnson Prize and for the William Hill prize.

Jennings co-authored The Faber Pocket Guide to Ballet (2014).

With his daughter, Jennings co-wrote the Stars youth fiction series (circa 2013), about teenagers at a performing arts school.

Beauty Story (1998) is a novel about a young actress who vanishes from a 16th-century English castle where she was filming a fragrance commercial.

Jennings' novel, Atlantic (1995), which takes place in a cruise ship in the post-war years, was nominated for the Booker Prize.

Jennings' first novel, Breach Candy (1993), follows a recently-retired ballerina and an intelligent-but-wounded television director researching a Channel 4 documentary in Bombay.
