“There’s an old saying: The first lie wins. It’s not referring to the little white kind that tumble out with no thought; it refers to the big one. The one that changes the game.” First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston
This one was such a captivating psychological thriller! I really had no idea where it was going but I really enjoyed the ride. The main character, Evie Porter (which isn’t her real name), is one tough cookie. We follow her at different points in her multiple identities as she is working for some mysterious Mr. Smith. I read this on audio and found it a little harder to follow with the flashbacks and figuring out what the end game of these con jobs were. However, the twists and turns were unexpected, and I really enjoyed seeing how everything played out in the end. I tend to go into mysteries/thrillers blind and I think doing so with this book played to my advantage during my reading experience.
