The Truth about the Devlins
Lisa Scottoline, the #1 bestselling author of What Happened to the Bennetts, presents another pulse-pounding domestic thriller about family, justice, and the lies that tear us apart.
TJ Devlin is the charming disappointment in the prominent Devlin family, all of whom are lawyers at their highly successful firm—except him. After a stint in prison and rehab for alcoholism, TJ can’t get hired anywhere except at the firm, in a make-work job with the title of investigator.
But one night, TJ’s world turns upside down after his older brother John confesses that he murdered one of their clients, an accountant he’d confronted with proof of embezzlement. It seems impossible coming from John, the firstborn son and Most Valuable Devlin.
TJ plunges into the investigation, seizing the chance to prove his worth and save his brother. But in no time, TJ and John find themselves entangled in a lethal web of deception and murder. TJ will fight to save his family, but what he learns might break them first.
Reviews
I usually love this author and I almost always persist when a book starts off slow. Not this time. I’m a couple hundred pages into it and it is not only boring but contrived. Disappointed

Not what I expected. I was expecting more domestic/ romantic relationship drama but was pleasantly surprised. Fast paced, great character development and solid plot twists. TJ was a great character .

Once I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down! The book was intriguing from start to finish.

Best plot ever… reading was fluid, surprising, a portrait of rehabilitation in today’s world, a life transformed, and made me root for the good guys!! More please….

Well…as a recovery alcoholic with 25 years of sobriety, I admit to being triggered in the early chapters. Well-done getting into the head of the newly sober. Enjoyed the story.
