My Review
The First To Lie is a thriller and suspense genre book and is the first book I have read by Hank Phillippi Ryan.
This book is told in alternating POVs with short chapters and a twisty plot. The First To Lie had the wheels turning as I was reading and had me guessing trying to figure out who really was lying.
There are many characters in this family revenge thriller and they have secrets. This book has a suspenseful and very twisty plot and a surprising ending. I recommend starting this book when you have the time to sit and read consistently as there are alternating narrators and characters to keep track of and how they relate to and impact the overall plot and since it is a page turner.
