First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston
2.0

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.
