The Jezebel Remedy

By: Martin Clark

Narrated by: Morgan Hallett

Lisa and Joe Stone, married for 20 years and sole partners in their small law firm in Henry County, Virginia, handle less-than-glamorous cases: 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.

Overall a good story that kept my interest

Found some aspects of the DNA testing a little unbelievable but otherwise enjoyed the story.

SOO Glad I discovered Martin Clark!

Solid intriguing story. Good twists, a bit of humor. Keeps you guessing all the way through.
Totally enjoyable listen.

Good listen for the most part.

It was an easy listen, but I think it could have been a little shorter and packed a bigger punch. Some clever turns and twists. The characters were likable and having worked in small town law offices, I know that characters just as eccentric as Lettie exist (and as big of pains in the rear, too).

Great legal thriller.

A bit slow to get going, but Martin Clark has the writing chops to keep you interested!
Lisa and Joe are a great team!

I will listen to any book by Martin Clark. Just as entertaining as Michael Connelly, Bosch series of books!’n

Just ok

Predictable plot lots of holes and unrealistically all their clients are oh so grateful that they would risk arrest.

Time well spent.

Engaging story. Colorful charactures. Plot surprises. Excellent narration. You will enjoy this listen. Trust me.

good listen

I liked this book but not as much as Substitution Order. that is my favorite Martin Clark book thus far.

Slow start, picks up speed, satisfying ending

This is my second Martin Clark novel and I like the way he writes. I like his characters who are likable, but flawed enough to be realistic. I like his dialogue and I like the way he unwraps a story. This started slowly and I wasn't sure what the intrigue would be, but once he laid it out I was hooked. And there are unexpected twists and turns that kept me surprised. I had mixed feelings about the narration. In the beginning the pauses were noticeable and distracting. What I appreciated was that she did not overdo the accents of different characters. She let the text do the talking so I wasn't distracted by poor accents. All in all this was a fun listen.

Great Story

Enjoyable listen and a great story. I enjoy Martin Clark and his style of writing!
