Thank you to the author, publisher Headline, and online book club The Pigeonhole for the chance to read this. This is an honest and voluntary review.

 

Evie Porter has secrets and she’s very good at keeping them. The biggest secret is her real name. When in the course of a job she meets a woman who claims to be Evie’s real identity, it triggers a series of events that could mean Evie’s past is catching up to her.

 

I love a good con artist story, and this book does a really good job of gradually peeling back layers of lies and fake identities to reveal who the main character is working for and whether she can stay ahead of the traps they’ve laid. It’s a really good trust no-one book where the characters still remain largely likeable and there are so many options that even if you do guess the identity of the big boss pulling the strings you will doubt yourself right up to the final reveal.

 

Fun, tense and a satisfying ending. Recommended.
