About this listen
In this masterful debut, Martin Clark proves to be the heir apparent of great Southern raconteurs and the envy of more seasoned novelists as he takes us on a frantic tour of the modern South. Hung over, beaten by the unforgiving sun, bitter at his estranged wife, and dreading the day's docket of petty criminal cases, Judge Evers Wheeling is in need of something on the morning he's accosted by Ruth Esther English.
Ruth Esther's strange story certainly is something, and Judge Wheeling finds himself in uncharted territory. Reluctantly agreeing to help Ruth Esther retrieve some stolen money, he recruits his pot-addled brother and a band of merry hangers-on for the big adventure.
Raucous road trips, infidelity, suspected killers, winning Lotto tickets, drunken philosophical rants, and at least one naked woman tied to a road sign ensue in The Many Aspects of Mobile Home Living, one part legal thriller, one part murder mystery, and all parts wild.

Story
Plain Heathen Mischief ups the existential ante, as Joel King, a defrocked Baptist minister, finds life even more bedeviling once he's served six months for a career-ending crime he might not even have committed. Now his incommunicado wife wants a divorce, the teenage vixen of his disgrace is suing him for a cool $5 million, a fresh start in Montana offers no hope for ex-cons of any religious persuasion, and the refuge provided by his sister turns as nasty as his parole officer. Talk about a crisis of faith.

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. 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.

For seventeen years, small-town public defender Andy Hughes has been underpaid to look after the poor, the addicted, and the unfortunate souls who constantly cycle through the courts, charged with petty crimes. Then, in the summer of 2020, he’s assigned to a grotesque murder case that brings national media focus to rural Patrick County, Virginia—Alicia Benson, the wife of a wealthy businessman, is murdered in her home. The accused killer, Damian Bullins, is a cunning felon with a long history of violence, and he confesses to the police.

Does the hitman's hitman have the wrong quarry in his sights?

Or maybe the government uses a fake tape recording to convict someone, and the jury decides to get hold of the original tape and see what's changed. Or maybe a judge has agreed to help the government because he's under audit by the IRS and facing criminal tax charges. All of these things can and do happen. Pity the poor defense attorney ...

Beware of harsh language!
Language was cringeworthy. There were too many crazy unbelievable stories happening at the same time. Characters didn’t seem to mesh well together. I’ve listened to a couple of stories by this author and I think it was just bad.

Strangest meandering story I have ever listened to
It was like I was trying to understand what the plot was through the entire book. That does not mean I did not enjoy the characters, I did. The performer did a good job, you always knew which character was speaking. I have been to the restaurant in Charleston, and it is exactly as described. Just a strange book.

fun, rambling novel
This is the second Martin Clark novel that I have read and I have enjoyed them both a great deal. (The other was the Substitution Order). They are kind of odd and rambling with likable characters. I plan to listen to all the rest of his work and recommend this one.

Hidden Treasure
After about the first 20 minutes I was ready to give up on this book. A couple of weeks later I came back with a different mind set. I started over and never stopped. I can’t fairly describe the book. The style is not like anything I am familiar with. But I really did enjoy the book. The narrator deserves an Academy Award!

I tried. I really did.
This was an all over the place, disjointed, small town gossip novel. I live in a disjointed, small town gossip place, and this was more than I could bear. I love my Southern novels, but I am not keen on ones that still make us sound like sexist, racist idiots. I admit, though, the brother and his band of miscreants were the only thing that got me as far as I did. They were older versions of the hoodlums that graduated with me 45 years ago.

SO ODD but couldn’t stop
This story does not fit into a category! The brothers have a loving strange relationship. The main character is a middle aged white, somewhat racist judge who becomes friends (and more) with a progressive no nonsense young black female attorney. Sounds odd but is delightful. And that’s just one of the kooky storylines.
I will remember this book and the characters for a long time. I loved the author’s voice and vocabulary. I will definitely read more from this guy.
