Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

4.25 This was such a fun fast paced thriller I finished this in one sitting . This one started right in the middle of it we are following TJ the private investigator for his family law firm after getting out of prison. TJ finds himself a suspect in a murder investigation while unraveling a twisty dark family drama. I really enjoyed this audiobook I could not put this down the pacing was perfect the characters were entertaining not always likable but entertaining. The writing was easy to understand and engaging . There was quite a bit about AA in this book as well since TJ is a recovering alcoholic. This is my first book by this author but hope to read more in the future. I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

I have loved other books by this author so I was excited to try this one! It was a fast paced mystery that was hard to put down and I was drawn in from the very first page. I’m usually not huge on legal thrillers but this one kept my attention the whole way through. I will be recommending this book to my friends!

Things aren't always as they seem in this family, which mostly consists of attorneys. T.J., the family's black sheep, has more to offer than his family realizes. Someone in the family has something to hide and the book keeps you guessing as to who and what that might be.

Decent story, but it took me forever to work my way through. Did not see the plot twists coming, which provided entertainment. But this was not my favorite Lisa Scottoline book.

The Truth About the Devlins is a gripping domestic thriller that delves into the complexities of family loyalty, justice, and buried secrets. The story centers on TJ Devlin, the youngest member of a prominent Philadelphia legal family, who has struggled with alcoholism and a troubled past. Working as an investigator for the family law firm, TJ becomes entangled in a web of deception when his brother, John, confesses to a murder. As TJ investigates further, he uncovers dark truths that threaten to unravel the Devlin family's reputation and safety.

Scottoline masterfully combines legal intrigue with deep character development, exploring themes of redemption and the moral ambiguities within familial bonds. The novel's brisk pacing and layered plot keep readers engaged, while its exploration of personal and professional ethics adds depth to the narrative.

This book is recommended for fans of legal thrillers and domestic suspense, particularly those who appreciate stories that examine the intersection of family dynamics and moral dilemmas.

I was given an opportunity to read an Advanced Copy of The Truth About the Devlins by NetGalley and the publisher. I finished reading this book months ago, but forgot to write a review. That being said, I had great impressions of this novel and wish I had not neglected to give my opinion earlier.

Lisa Scottoline does a great job of crafting a dysfunctional family drama with a thriller twist. I like the suspense of the novel and the characterization. I am always one to root for the underdog, and TJ Devlin definitely is one. In his zeal to redeem his character, will TJ end up putting himself in harm's way?

Having read the author's other works, I was not surprised to see the law and legal entanglements become part of the plot. Overall, The Truth about the Devlins is a great standalone novel by Lisa Scottoline and one I would recommend to other readers.

DNFed - I chose to DNF this book in the past. I am typing as a review so it doesn’t harm my %. I haven’t chose to pick the title back up.

It’s not always easy to find character driven thrillers and this one delivers! I enjoyed the dysfunctional family component as well as the dark humor.

I enjoyed these characters and their family dynamic. I wouldn’t say it was thrilling, but it was a good legal mystery / domestic drama. The narrator of this audiobook did a great job.

Special thanks to NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of this book. I thought this was a highly entertaining family drama that was hard to put down. It was fast paced and had some great twists and turns.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of The Truth about the Devlins by Lisa Scottoline! This book was a fun fast-paced mystery. I would recommend to anyone who loves family dramas and Law & Order.

I enjoyed this book. It was very exciting and dramatic. Thank you to publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read!

I enjoyed this book! It was an exciting and dramatic read (sometimes a bit too dramatic for me). I think it will appeal to people looking for a quick and fast-paced read. The Devlin family is fascinating, I'd be curious to read more about their lives before they got wealthy. I felt really bad for TJ, he seemed to have a rough go of things. Thank you to G.P. Putnam's Sons and NetGalley for this ARC!

I've never actually seen an entire episode of law and order, but I now feel as though I've read one.

The Truth about the Devlins is a fast read that will have you wondering how in the world this story could end. When I first started reading it, I wasn't quite sure how it would go, but it ultimately grabbed me, and I plowed through the story. It's an interesting mystery centered around family dynamics, lies, and what happens behinds closed doors. The main character TJ's sobriety is a big focal point of the book too. If you are triggered by addiction of this nature, be forewarned. I was surprised by the ending too.

Overall, I enjoyed The Truth about the Devlins. It's not my favorite by Scottoline, but still a good book.

Thank you Putnam Books and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest review.

What I liked about this book:
1. I love the family saga story that has lots of twists and turns!
2. A thriller combined with legal drama - such a good combo!!
3. Fast paced and easy to read!

What I wished was different:
1. There were so many family members that I didn't like - and I wished there a couple more that were likable.



Thank you for Net Galley and G P Putnam for providing me with an ARC.
