⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First Lie Wins is a sharp, fast-paced psychological thriller that follows Evie Porter, a woman who doesn’t actually exist—at least, not in the way people think. Evie is an identity crafted for a job. Her real name, past, and loyalties are all hidden behind layers of lies.

Evie works for a mysterious and powerful man known only as Mr. Smith. Her assignments are always the same: assume a carefully built identity, infiltrate the life of a chosen target, and gain their trust until the job is done. She’s one of Mr. Smith’s best operatives—smart, disciplined, and highly adaptable.

But Evie’s latest assignment feels different. She’s building a life she begins to genuinely care about, which puts her at risk. Then a woman arrives claiming to be the real Evie Porter—someone using the very identity Evie thought was unique to her. This shakes everything Evie believes about her job, her handler, and herself.

As Evie tries to uncover who set her up and why, she must decide whom to trust—and how many more lies she’s willing to tell to survive.

The novel is filled with twists, misdirection, and shifting loyalties, making it a tense, addictive read for fans of The Last Mrs. Parrish and The Girl on the Train.
