Weirdly "First Lie Wins" is the third book I've read in the last month with the word "lie" in the title.
And this was by far the best. What a thrilling cat-and-mouse adventure! I started listening to this as an audiobook and by the end of chapter 7 (about 13%), my jaw literally dropped. I realized I would need to read this one to keep the pace it required and read it over a couple of days. Evie is super clever and from the start we know she will lie to get what she wants (First lie wins!). The twists and turns don't stop and we get glimpes into her back story as it all comes together and you start rooting for her. I can't say much more without spoilers but if you are looking for a fun domestic suspense thriller, check it out.
I really hope this is made into a limited (or even ongoing) series.
