Buckle up . . . the best cat and mouse suspense I've read in years
Smart and sharp, fast-paced and twisty, this kept me on the edge of my seat
Wildly inventive, diabolically clever
The most suspenseful game of deception I've ever read. Brilliant!
Clever, twisty, and suspenseful, First Lie Wins kept me on my toes right up to the satisfying conclusion
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
