“First Lie Wins” is a twist-filled, cat and mouse psychological thriller.
It is the first adult novel by Ashley Elston and is told in first person.
Although the main character, Evie is a con-artist, you can’t help but cheer her on.
Evie is given an identity, location and target for each new assignment by her mysterious boss, Mr. Smith. She must learn everything she can about her target and then assume the identity and infiltrate into the target’s life. It is when she moves in with her boyfriend, Ryan, that Evie’s normally cool, calculated plans fall apart.
If you do not like a timeline that moves around and flashbacks, this book might not be for you.
I read that actress-producer, Octavia Spencer has secure the rights to adapt this book into a series for Hulu.
