NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

USA Today Bestseller

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.

Critic reviews

"A solid legal thriller and an intense family drama . . . The novel precisely examines family dynamics, showing how hierarchies can shift through the years. Scottoline has a talent for shaping realistic characters that keeps the Devlins' saga intriguing." —Shelf Awareness

"Family dysfunction and life-threatening circumstances are the least of the variety of twists and turns with which Scottoline peppers this labyrinthine plot. . . . The Truth About the Devlins is a romp with exacting amounts of soul and sabotage, surprise and success, that even the most jaded mystery reader will find it to be a jolt to his or her system.” —Bookreporter

"A ripping blend of legal and family drama.” —Publishers Weekly

Just fun!

Very enjoyable listen. Good story and characters that ring true. Nothing that gets in the way of just enjoying the story, thanks to the author’s rigorous research and attention to getting it right. And her great wit shines through, with lines that had me laughing out loud — exactly what her characters WOULD say, delivered with perfection by the excellent narrator.

another winner from Scottoline

Scottoline writes from the heart and draws you in to know and care for her characters. I tend to prefer female narrators but enjoyed Mr. Eduardo's cadence and inflection.

Couldn't put it down!

Lisa hits another home run with a book that keeps you so engaged you can't stop listening to it. Her characters are complex but likeable (at least the protagonists). The plot is twisting, complex and yet easy to follow. Suspense, humor, intrigue and mystery all rolled into one. Loved it! And loved the ending. Oh, and it also had historical relevance. Wow. Amazing story teller.

Why did his brother lie?

This was extremely enjoyable. I always love lisa's books. The show's family dynamics and how some addictions are shown to be worse than others when really an addiction is an addiction. I felt all of t j's pain, though. I'm not an alcoholic.

The humor! Refreshing!!

Great explanations of alcoholism and recovery! I learned quite a lot about support and praise being given instead of making someone feel guilty and ashamed.

A wonderful and intricate mystery

I loved the humanity in this book. Weaving family and forgiveness with mystery that kept you on the edge of your seat due to great twists and turns. We have all made mistakes, but this book shows that owning up to them along with hard work can lead to redemption. I loved the author’s sincere acknowledgments at the end. It takes a village to bring an excellent book to life and she graciously thanked all of her team. Kudos to all!

More TJ Devlin!

Enjoyed the story and pace. Not too many characters to keep track of. Hope the author continues with the character TJ.

A good story

A good story, but at times boring. Parts of the story just dragged on. A surprise ending.
