About this listen
__________________
There's an old saying: The first lie wins...
At a party with her fiancé Ryan Sumner, Evie Porter is not looking for trouble. But trouble has found her.
A woman approaches. She's using her name. And Evie knows it's a warning.
Because Evie Porter is not her real name. It's her job.
Ryan Sumner is not her future husband. He's her target.
And this woman showing up now can only mean one thing. Her employer is watching. One mistake and she's dead.
To save herself, and escape her employer for good, Evie must set the last perfect trap. Which means using herself as bait...

Critic Reviews
Twisty and exhilarating (Sunday Times)
I devoured it. Absolutely brilliant (Heidi Perks)
Strikingly ingenious (Daily Mail)
Twisty and fast-paced (Observer)
Edgy and smart (New York Times)
Riveting (Lucy Foley)
This has everything you want in the thriller (Reese Witherspoon)
Buckle up . . . the best cat and mouse suspense I've read in years (Lisa Gardner)
Clever, twisty, and suspenseful, First Lie Wins kept me on my toes right up to the satisfying conclusion (Diane Chamberlain)
What a box of tricks! First Lie Wins flickers past like a shadow-play: just when you think you've worked out what you're seeing, the shapes shift, the scene transforms, and - hold on - maybe you had it wrong a moment ago? Cool and clever and full-on fun, the sort of slippery high-stakes now-you-see-me-now-you-don't thriller that few novelists are bold enough to attempt these days. Pick it up, please. This is a good one (A.J. Finn)
Smart and sharp, fast-paced and twisty, this kept me on the edge of my seat (Megan Miranda)
Wildly inventive, diabolically clever (Julie Clark)
The most suspenseful game of deception I've ever read. Brilliant! (Elle Cosimano)
Unexpected and pacey (Harriet Tyce)
An absolute CRACKER of a book (Rachel Abbott)
A propulsive, note-perfect thriller (Cesca Major)
Mind-blowingly brilliant (Sun)
Brilliant. I read it in one sitting. If you love twisty thrillers, this one is for you (Sarah Morgan)
The kind of jaw-droppingly twisty read you stay up all night for (I News)
An outstanding psychological thriller... this could well be the best read of 2024 (SHOTs Magazine)
This will have you turning the pages at speed (Prima Magazine)
A great title to choose for a book club of thriller lovers (Glamour)
A break neck thrill ride (Crime Monthly)
A clever blend of GONE GIRL and KILLING EVE... Terribly ingenious and a gripping read, this is one to savour (Crime Time)
Breakneck pace, non-stop action, genius premise. One of the best thrillers I've read this year (Andrea Mara)
