About the book

Evie Porter has everything a nice, Southern girl could want: a perfect, doting boyfriend, a house with a white picket fence and a garden, a fancy group of friends. The only catch: Evie Porter doesn’t exist.

The identity comes first: Evie Porter. Once she’s given a name and location by her mysterious boss Mr. Smith, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it. Then the mark: Ryan Sumner. The last piece of the puzzle is the job.

Evie isn’t privy to Mr. Smith’s real identity, but she knows this job will be different. Ryan has gotten under her skin, and she’s starting to envision a different sort of life for herself. But Evie can’t make any mistakes--especially after what happened last time.

Because the one thing she’s worked her entire life to keep clean, the one identity she could always go back to—her real identity—just walked right into this town. Evie Porter must stay one step ahead of her past while making sure there’s still a future in front of her. The stakes couldn't be higher--but then, Evie has always liked a challenge...

    Twisty cat-and-mouse game that outshines any spy thriller!

    For the first time in her life, Evie Porter feels like she could settle down. She’s about to move in with Ryan, her gorgeous boyfriend, into his perfect white house in Louisiana–The ideal setting for a quiet life. Until Evie meets a woman named Lucca Marino at a party. Because Lucca Marino is who Evie used to be…before she started keeping secrets. ‘First Lie Wins’ is a compelling cat-and-mouse psychological thriller. The storyline and tension were brilliantly built, and I loved uncovering Evie’s secrets and past layer by layer. For a long time, I had no idea how all the little puzzle pieces of the story would fit together. I had a vague sense, but wasn’t sure until the final reveal. I listened to the audiobook and honestly couldn‘t stop! 🎧

    Für mich war es beim Hörbuch etwas schwierig zu folgen aufgrund vieler Rückblenden und Alias-Namen. Insgesamt aber ein unterhaltsamer, lässiger Thriller, der sich super für den Sommer eignet, mit einer coolen Protagonistin und von Michaela Gaertner auch gut gelesen.

    Unerwartet super

    Ich bin ohne große Erwartungen an das Buch, bzw. Hörbuch rangegangen und wurde richtig überrascht 🤭 Die Story war echt cool und richtig spannend. Es gab krasse Twists, die ich nicht hab kommen sehen 🤭 Und die Sprecherin hat das richtig gut gesprochen. Ich würde es auf jeden Fall empfehlen 🥰
