Brian and Barbara review the book First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston, number five on the New York Times hardcover fiction list of January 21, 2024, and the Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick for January, 2024. Evie, the main character in this debut suspense novel, is a thief—a high end thief, who goes undercover to steal art, jewels, proprietary business secrets, or whatever her mysterious boss, Mr. Smith, tells her to get her hands on. She’s very good at what she does, but her latest job is … complicated: she may be falling for her target, the hunky financial planner Ryan, she’s being investigated for a murder she may or may not have committed, and it looks like Mr. Smith may be souring on her employment, a situation that could be deadly for Evie. Twenty minutes with us, and you'll know whether to read it ... or regift it! Episode 23 of bestseller, recorded on March 9, 2024.
