3.24.2024 - The Truth About the Devlins

The Truth about the Devlins by Lisa Scottoline 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam GP Putnam Sons for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest novel by an all-time favorite, Lisa Scottoline - 5 stars!

TJ is the black sheep of the Devlin family.  His parents, brother and sister are all lawyers in the family firm, Devlin & Devlin, while he is an ex-con only working in the firm because he is family.  Everything gets turned upside when his older brother, John, comes to TJ and tells him that he needs his help.  John has accidentally murdered one of his clients that he had accused of embezzlement.  TJ throws himself into the investigation to help John, but soon realizes that trouble runs very deep and he's in the middle of it.

Another fabulous thriller by Scottoline - I couldn't put this one down because I was so invested in TJ!  I kept rooting for him to be okay, to stay sober, and to do the right thing.  This is family drama at its best, with sibling and parent turmoil aplenty.  I was also horrified by the medical experiments inflicted on inmates at the Holmesburg Prison. and loved Gabby's passion towards social injustice.  This book addresses this issue, along with addiction issues, sensitively but truthfully.  Highly recommended!
