Truth Be Told

Praise for Full Disclosure

Shortlisted for the Arthus Ellis Best First Crime Novel

“We know Beverley McLachlin as a pioneer–the first woman to serve as Canada’s Chief Justice. But now we’ll know her for something else entirely: gripping crime fiction… . Full Disclosure is a well-crafted page-turner in the vein of international bestsellers like Sarah Vaughan’s Anatomy of a Scandal, and is packed with courtroom drama, intrigue, plot twists, and fascinating details about our criminal justice system. Written in an accessible voice, with a fast-moving narrative, this is beach, cabin, and airplane reading at its best.” – Vancouver Sun

Praise for Beverley McLachlin

“She offers a powerful window into how her life and the law intertwine… . It is this orientation–McLachlin seeing the law in human terms and showing her own humanity in her law-making, rejecting legal ideology in favour of the specifics of the case in front of her–that may best define her legacy.” – The Walrus

“A great read… . Has sequel written all over it.” – CBC’s Sunday Edition“A riveting thriller.” – Costco Connection“For page-turning legal thrillers, it’s hard to do better than this one, and not just because it’s by the ultimate insider: the recently retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada.” – Maclean’s“Gripping, intricate, and full of heart, Full Disclosure is a bold debut by the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. Novelist Beverley McLachlin is a force to be reckoned with.” – KATHY REICHS, bestselling author of the Bones series“Her legacy … is now part of the country’s foundations.” – The Globe and Mail“McLachlin puts her experience on the Court to good use, writing a taut legal thriller with great twists and turns that will keep readers guessing to the very end.” – CATHERINE McKENZIE, bestselling author of Six Weeks to Live“Totally compelling: McLachlin brings her wit and intelligence–and unrivalled experience–to this courtroom drama, which brilliantly illuminates the games lawyers play and the risks of wrong choices. The main character, Jilly Truitt, is a woman I want to meet again.” – CHARLOTTE GRAY, bestselling author of The Promise of Canada“What we have here is the inquiring mind of the lawyer and jurist, now bold new writer… . Beverley McLachlin has created something real and visceral. Hats off, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, and all rise for what we hope will be the encore.” – Canadian Lawyer Magazine
