Great Suspenseful Legal Thriller - No Spoilers - By Tell Me A Story Martin Clark delivers a thorough legal thriller that doesn't get overly focused on the details of a typical lawsuit (I recently got scammed by an auto insurance co. after 5 year battle, which included severe, permanent injuries sustained in an auto accident). This story is a realistic presentation of the people involved displaying flexible morality to score a win. I have been stunned by the commonness that exists among lawyers and corporate big wigs, it would seem no one is above lying, falsifying evidence or manipulating facts. Clark has obviously seen this consistent character trait in his courtroom. The story flows somewhat rapidly and there is a lot of activity as we observe the situation through Lisa Stone's eyes, wife and partner with Joe Stone, at Stone and Stone, a small town law firm that gets caught in the middle of a firestorm over a patent issue.The story works because everyone lies. Joe Stone is an easy going guy, well liked, considered as the ethical cornerstone of law in his region. He displays immense patience with town lunatic, Lettie VanSandt, who files frivolous lawsuits like some people go grocery shopping. When Lettie hits the big time, it is to late for her to receive her payday because she has died during a house fire. This is when things go topsy-turvy for the Stones and their practice. Add to this serious indiscretion by Lisa, her action may inadvertently cause their case to be lost, and in turn cause their whole world to be destroyed. Additionally, when push comes to shove even Joe uses semantics to fudge the truth when talking to the big corporation.At one point, I wanted to give this a five for originality and the realism incorporated into the story. However, Lisa's character is not the most likeable person. She runs the gamut of emotions about her bad choice and at times is almost flippant about it's impact. Her actions include getting her best friend to commit perjury on her behalf is extreme. However, it is a side of human nature that many people in American society would probably chose. What bothered me is that she has no consequences after the fact. Similarly, Joe rationalizes his decision to fib because he rarely charged Lettie in her legal cases (most attorney's would rather have dental work than assist for free). Additionally, everything got wrapped up in a tidy bow at the end, thus making a fairly realistic story end on an improbable note.This would make a good vacation read. The story takes you by the hand and leads you through tedious lifestyles in a small town to encounters with a huge drug corporation, its bigger than life CEO (think Branson or Madoff) and its panoply of players with increasing intensity as the story unfolds.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Another winner from Judge Clark By Dennis R. Beresford The only problem with finishing one of Judge Martin Clark's books is knowing that I will have to wait 3-4 years for the next one. I enjoyed The Jezebel Remedy just as much as his earlier three books if not more. It's a great story with likable main characters and a few to really dislike. While I finished the book in just a couple of days, I often found myself re-reading a few paragraphs that just gave me pure pleasure for the writing style or ability to make me feel really engaged in what was going on.I'm sure that Judge Clark's day job provides excellent insights for his novels. But I'd certainly be a happier reader if he would become a full-time author!
7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Cats And Dogs... By PattyLouise The Jezebel RemedyByMartin ClarkWhat I knew about this book before I read it...Well...I knew that this book was written by a circuit court judge who really knows law. This book is about a husband and wife legal team who never quite get the big cases but who are expert at quirky and unique cases. The reason for this is simply their lifestyle and the area in Virginia where they live and practiced law.My thoughts after reading this book...It was a fun kind of intense and fast paced kind of book and...trust me...it's all about being quirky! Lettie is a client...a very quirky client...and all kinds of things go down because of a formula she is rumored to have invented. She brings a cat to Lisa and Joe's office, she lives in a trailer, she saves stray animals and people believe that she makes meth in her trailer! OMG!And when she is "presumed" dead? Well...that's when all the fun begins. And in the mean time...there are two cute kitties, a very sick dog, omelettes on a plane and an affair. And...life goes on...What I loved about this book...I think I really liked Lisa and Joe...they had issues, made mistakes but they were "in it to win it".What I did not love about this book...Perhaps a bit too long? I hated reading the court documents but...I got through it. You can, too.Final thoughts about this book...Readers who enjoy kind of unusual court antics and cases should enjoy this author's genuine wit and style.
