I finally see what all the hype is about!
First Lie Wins is a very mysterious novel. We don’t find out too much about any of the characters until the last quarter of the novel. But this adds a whole effect of never knowing what comes next.
It’s tense and thrilling and you find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat. I know that’s said often, but this novel defines that. Twist after twist. There are alternating timelines that help tell the story and it is perfectly done. Each blast from the past leading to the grand finale perfectly.
Absolutely LOVE the ending! I will be recommending this for years to come, but I have a feeling this will be one of those books that everyone will read.
