Book: First Lie Wins

Author: Ashley Elston

Evie Porter doesn’t exist, she was given this identity by her boss Mr. Smith. When she receives instructions from her boss she needs to memorize everything that is given to her.

The chapters go back and forth between the present time and Evie’s past jobs as other identities. It helps you learn more about her and the job that she holds.

There were a few times when I had to stop to think if the narrator was unreliable with any misinformation.

There are a couple of moments that I think will shock you. Overall, I was a little disappointed because I had a feeling of what the ending might be and I was correct, which I usually am not in most thrillers.

This is a fast-paced, cat-and-mouse-type thriller with a great storyline. Maybe try not to overanalyze what the ending might be so you can enjoy that part more.

Final Score: 4/5
