Talking concerning the book-to-tv adjustments, author Jenna Lamia advised IndieWire that one motive for the change was that, in contrast to the ebook, you are not “aware of a variety of Merritt’s ideas,” and having a variety of voiceovers “wasn’t going to work.” So, Jenna felt it will be extra “satisfying” for TV viewers to have a assassin “who absolutely supposed to homicide the individual they murdered.”
She continued, saying, “So for the present, and Elin was completely supportive of this, we determined that the killer had supposed to kill the individual she kills and that she had a really clear motive for doing so, and it wasn’t simply jealousy. So [we] added the cash plot. It wanted to be a bit of extra crisp.”
