Order of Beverley McLachlin Books

Beverley McLachlin brings unparalleled legal expertise to her gripping thriller novels, having transitioned from Canada's highest court to the world of fiction writing. Best known for her Jilly Truitt series, McLachlin made her literary debut in 2018 with Full Disclosure.

Before becoming a novelist, McLachlin had an extraordinary judicial career, making history as Canada's first female Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. During her tenure from 2000 to 2017, she became the longest-serving Chief Justice in the nation's history. Her distinguished service earned her appointment as a Companion of the Order of Canada in 2018—the organization's most prestigious honor.

Following her retirement from Canada's Supreme Court, McLachlin continued her judicial work internationally, serving as a non-permanent judge on Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal from 2018 to 2024. She eventually stepped away from the bench entirely to dedicate more time to her family while pursuing her passion for writing legal thrillers that captivate readers with authentic courtroom drama and insider knowledge of the justice system.
