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

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.

Just fun!

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.

another winner from Scottoline

It was a mediocre read. Not great. Not bad. Just in the middle. It won’t be on my recommendation list but I won’t tell people not to read - like I said, mediocre.

Meh

The Truth About The Devlins by Lisa Scottoline is excellent. Comes close to her best which is Endeavor. The Devlins are rich and have two sons. At first the older son seems much better than the younger son. But by the end of this audiobook, we learn that the younger son is far better than his brother who is put in prison. Prison because he steal money from the company and hires bad people to do his dirty work.

Technically I did not read this, I listened to it as an audio book. I found myself taking car trips to listen and not feel guilty about abandoning chores at home ;) This is a great mystery with all the twists and turns that make for an interesting, “cannot put it down” book. As a recovering addict (sobriety date December 15, 1918) I was amazed and thrilled by the author’s perfect representation of the Alcoholics Anonymous program. I chuckled out loud in some parts and almost cried in others. This is an EXCELLENT read!!!! Thank you to Lisa Scottoline for giving us this wonderful book!

I couldn’t stop reading this!!!

First, let me say that I really like multi-narrator audiobooks, so I was a little irritated when I realized it was just a single narrator with someone else doing forward and closing. I also did not love this book from the very first chapter, so you might have to have a little patience.

All that being said, sometimes a book just feels like a Godsend, even if you don’t know you’re looking for one. That was this book for me. The main character is so unbelievably likable, kind, but also flawed, which made him relatable. it’s a story about human nature, mistakes and redemption. This book made me laugh, cry, and was also pretty informative and thought provoking. Such beautiful writing and I highly recommend!

Pleasantly surprised…
