Summary
Martin Clark, 'the new standard by which other works of legal fiction should be judged,' now delivers his breakthrough novel. Lisa and Joe Stone, married for twenty years and sole partners in their small law firm in Henry County, Virginia, handle less than glamorous cases, whether domestic disputes, personal injury settlements, or a plethora of complaints from their cantankerous client Lettie VanSandt ('eccentric' by some accounts, 'certifiable' by others). When she dies in a freakish incident, the Stones think it's within the realm of possibility that she was cooking meth in her trailer. But details soon emerge that lead them to question how ''accidental'' Lettie's demise actually was, and settling her peculiar estate becomes endlessly complicated. Before long, the Stones find themselves embroiled in a corporate conspiracy that will require all of their legal prowess--not to mention some serious guts--for them to survive. Meanwhile, Lisa is making secret, herculean efforts to shield Joe from an egregious error that she would give anything to erase entirely, even as his career--and her own--hangs in the balance. In The Jezebel Remedy, Clark gives us a stunning portrait of a marriage, a gripping courtroom drama, and a relentlessly entertaining story that is full of inventions, shocks, and understanding.

Having listened to a few of this author's other books, I was disappointed with this one due to the outlandish, juvenile scenes that were inserted into the story at different points. Clark created some very believable characters here and basically a great plot but then brought in some ridiculous scenes which had no effect on the plot and seemed totally absurd - a man dressed in a squirrel suit?? Really? And the absurd unfolding resolution at the end which though it didn't turn out the way the author indicated it might, still brought another ludicrous aspect to the story; what a shame, one has to ask why his editors didn't step in. The narration was superb.

Good story—well written and good ending trajectory. Second book I have listened to by him and I appreciate his style and pace

A great listen! Fast moving yet a lot of detail that keeps one focused on different characters and circumstances. All Martin Clark’s books are great but this is the only one with strong female roles, a capturing story well told.
