First Lie Wins: Diversified Publishing
Autor Ashley Elstonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 ian 2024
Proza lui Ashley Elston lovește chirurgical. Stilul este alert, tăios, construit pe propoziții care refuză să irosească vreun moment de respiro. Putem afirma că ritmul acestei narațiuni este unul de tip „cat-and-mouse” dus la extrem. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autoarea deconstruiește premisa clasică a thrillerului psihologic: aici, protagonista nu este victima, ci agentul unui joc periculos. Evie Porter are tot ce și-ar putea dori o femeie, însă există o problemă majoră. Evie Porter nu există. Este o identitate fabricată pentru o misiune precisă. Ținta? Ryan Sumner. Totul decurge conform planului până când trecutul forțează ușa prezentului prin apariția unei femei care îi poartă numele real. Subliniem tensiunea constantă dintre datoria profesională a lui Evie și sentimentele neașteptate pentru Ryan, un element care complică o ecuație deja sângeroasă. Forța narativă a lui Tarryn Fisher din An Honest Lie combinată cu sensibilitatea întunecată a lui A. J. Park — dar cu un glas propriu, mult mai dinamic. Dacă în The Lying Woods sau This Is Our Story autoarea explora secretele de grup și consecințele banilor murdari, în First Lie Wins ea ridică miza la nivelul supraviețuirii identitare. Este un joc de oglinzi unde prima minciună este doar începutul unui mecanism de supraviețuire brutal.
