I just finished reading First Lie Wins (by Elston, Ashley). Could you please recommend me similar books where the main character (female) is not what she seems, or she is a more or less professional lier / scammer, or she operates in the "grey area" (not really a criminal but not 100% law-abiding either).
I've read The Lies I Tell (by Clark, Julie) which I enjoyed because it was just so clever, and The Guest (by Cline, Emma) which I hated because the main character was mentally too unstable. I like protagonists who are clever and not too conventional and plots that contain interesting twists.

The Lady Upstairs by Halley Sutton
Modesty Blaise by Peter O’Donnell. Modesty was a Displaced Person after WWII and ended up running a large criminal syndicate around the Mediterranean. She retired to Britain and MI6 uses her occasionally for black ops jobs. Her methods are not always legal and sometimes not very moral. There are several books.
Just finished Artemis and I think it fits the bill. Think female Han Solo but on the moon.
