Definitely some flaws, but I’m in my “beach read” era, so this is a good fit for that.
Probably a fine airplane/beach read. But...ugh. I guessed the "twist" early on. But I was wrong, because the actual twist was so much less satisfying. It also had main character traits that always bother me...superhuman abilities to outsmart, out-tech, out-seduce, no fear, all confidence, blech. I mean, OF COURSE you can achieve all this if you have your super secret tech buddy to get you into any room, create any document, bug any place, be everywhere working as a bar tender, etc. The same person? And the "climax", which was really just outsmarting everyone and everything with these superhuman temperaments...
Just...ugh. But again, perhaps good for a mindless beach read.

First Lie Wins is an absolutely amazing thriller that completely unique with incredible twists and turns. I loved that I was constantly second guessing myself whilst reading this with no cliches I got a completely new reading experience with a fantastic premise. Overall a really clever plot, great thriller with really well written characters - I highly recommend.

Had high expectations for this book but ended dissatisfied. The continued time jumps made it difficult to keep track of everything and I was often led confused.
