“First Lie Wins” is a winner of a thriller! The espionage plot was fun and engaging, and I really connected with our spunky main character Evie. I loved how we get more and more of a window into who she is with the chapters told from her previous jobs/aliases. The story is fast paced and consistently engaging, but the last third really seals the deal. The ending is so satisfying in that way where all the puzzle pieces slot together to form a complete picture. Just a great execution of the thriller genre!
