Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)

The Truth About the Devlins by Lisa Scottoline is an extremely exciting read that draws readers in immediately.  It is a fascinating story of family loyalty, redemption, and the search for justice that kept me interested until the very end.

I found one of the most impactful parts of the novel to be TJ Devlin’s redemption arc. As the black sheep of a well-known family, TJ struggles to find his place in the world, haunted by past mistakes and trying to keep his sobriety. When his older brother John confesses to a shocking crime, TJ takes control of the situation in an attempt to save his family from ruin. 

TJ’s steady loyalty to his family, even through the revelations of their many flaws and secrets, makes him an even more likable character. His work with his sister on a lawsuit to hold corporations responsible for the product testing they did on prisoners is a very interesting secondary storyline (and deserving of its own book).

The twists and turns of the plot kept me guessing until the very end, and Scottoline’s excellent storytelling kept me eagerly turning the pages. With its complex characters, gripping suspense, and intriguing family dynamics, The Truth About the Devlins is a must-read for fans of thrillers and suspense.

Thank you to NetGalley, PENGUIN GROUP Putnam, and G.P. Putnam’s Sons for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
