I loved, loved this book!

This as much a game of cat and mouse as it was a thriller.

Lucca is basically a paid spy/con artist/theft for the mysterious Mr. Smith.

The First Lie Wins is about several of her past jobs with the present job the main focus.

But read this book, you will not regret it!

Thanks to the publisher and author for the ARC.

A great distraction. Well-plotted and paced. Possibly the best book in this genre I’ve read this year.
