Justice Is Served is an appealing and well told memoir by Leslie Karst. Released 4th April 2023, it's 288 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats.
It's always enjoyable to listen to enthusiasts waxing lyrical about the things that make their hearts beat faster. The author (who also writes mysteries) is a foodie lawyer from a family of lawyers. It's her familial connection via her father (a professor of law) through which she was able to meet Justice Ruth Bader and Marty Ginsburg and serve them a memorable meal.
This is mostly a story of the author finding herself and her way in life, and engaging her passion for culinary arts after working in the legal profession for a couple of decades. There are interludes throughout the book containing fascinating glimpses into RBG, her career, her fierce intelligence, and her humanity.
The author has included recipes for the dinner dishes mentioned in the book. They're elegant, refined, and delicious (and worthy of the Ginsburgs).
Four stars. This is an odd book, but nevertheless an interesting and worthwhile read.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
