Thank you to Netgalley and Putnam Books for an early copy of Lisa Scottoline's book "The Truth about the Devlins" in exchange for my honest review.

In The Truth about the Devlins we meet the Devlin family who are a family of lawyers. This book is told through the perspective of TJ Devlin who is not a lawyer and seen as the black sheep of the family. He has done some time in prison and has had some addiction issues. Due to his past, he works at his family's prominent law firm as an investigator.

This book was a little slow in the beginning and I had a hard time getting into it, but at about the 50% mark it picked up and I had to finish to find out what was going on. I had an idea of who was involved but there were still some twists and turns that added to the mystery. I loved how the book handled the heavy topic of addiction and family bonds.

The family dynamics were an interesting piece of the puzzle and had me confused as to who to believe at times. The characters were well developed and I enjoyed TJ as the black sheep underdog of the story. I wanted to root for him and wanted the best for him and his standing in the family.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it. 3.75 stars rounded up.
