"How far would you go to protect your family?"

Fresh Fiction Review

The Truth about the Devlins
Lisa Scottoline

Reviewed by Evie Harris
Posted April 3, 2024

Thriller Psychological

The Devlins were a family of high achievers, all successful attorneys with just one exception.  TJ, the youngest son didn't quite fit the mold.  He was a college dropout, a recovering alcoholic, and had served time in prison for a serious crime.  The only job he could get was that of investigator in the family law firm and that in itself turned out to be prophetic.

After his brother John tells him he may have killed a man, TJ immediately launches an unofficial investigation, one that upends the entire family's life. TJ is the narrator of this compelling story and it is obvious from the beginning that the author has created a charming protagonist who is both witty and sensitive.  THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DEVLINS by Lisa Scottoline is a multi-layered and well plotted story that takes narrative twists and turns.  Conspiracies and danger abound, but the real heart of the story is the power of family and how far TJ will go to protect his. 

Incorporated into the story are alcohol and gambling addictions.  TJ isn't the only member of the Devlin family who has problems. When the family is faced with brutal truths and shocking facts how will they react?  Will they remain a family?

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DEVLINS is an emotionally stirring and powerful story about justice, repercussions, redemption, and the strength of family bonds.  Highly recommended.

SUMMARY

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.
