Library News: March 21st, 2024
This week, the library is highlighting two new adult fiction books.
The Truth About the Devlins by Lisa Scottoline. The Devlin family is well known and prominent. All of them are lawyers at their highly successful firm. Well, there is one exception. TJ Devlin is the family's disappointing black sheep. After a stint in prison and rehab for alcoholism, TJ can not get hired anywhere except at the firm. He is given a ‘created’ position with the title of investigator. One night, TJ’s world is turned upside down. His older brother John, the firstborn son and golden boy of the family, confesses that he just murdered one of the firm's clients, an accountant he had confronted with proof of embezzlement. TJ plunges into the investigation, seizing the chance to prove his worth and save his brother. But TJ and John quickly find themselves entangled in a lethal web of deception and murder. TJ will fight to save his family, but what he learns may break them first.
The #1 Lawyer by James Patterson and Nancy Allen. Stafford Lee Penney is an excellent lawyer with a stellar reputation. He has never lost a case. He wears sharp suits and polished Oxford shoes. In Biloxi, Mississippi, he is the #1 lawyer and top local celebrity. He has just notched his latest courtroom victory and is riding high. Then, shockingly, his wife is scandalously killed, and he becomes the prime suspect. He spirals into a legal and personal losing streak, damaging his reputation and ruining his career. This is when he makes a bold decision. He stops relying on his power-lawyer identity and creates a new lawyer lifeguard. Moonlighting at the beach, showing up to court in flip-flops, and mentoring a law student, the new Stafford Lee Penney is at first unrecognizable. It has been said that a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. But Penney is still the #1 lawyer and will find a way to triumph!
