Summary: Casey Keeps Getting Better
Review: I really wish I could use more than 5 stars for Money to Burn. Casey Jones is back with her smart-mouth, bawdy attitude, and her undeniable charm. I really enjoyed Legwork and Out of Time, but Money to Burn is as darn near perfection as you'll find. I loved the recurring and new characters, the story, the writing, the suspense, and every darn word. This is a must read book!

Summary: Casey Jones is my new favorite female PI!!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to "spread the word" that Katy Munger's heroine is a perfect combination of guts, gams and good humor. It was the most entertained I have been by a book in a long time. The mystery was clever, had a surprise ending and best of all, made me laugh out loud at least a dozen times! I truly hated for the story to end - but when it did end - I was very appreciative of the way Ms Munger "wrapped up all the loose ends" Can't wait to read all the previous adventures of Casey Jones.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: I'd like to say that this is the best one yet, but then people might be tempted to read only the latest in the series. Start from the beginning and work your way through. It's worth it!

Summary: A Laugh-Out-Loud Mystery
Review: I've read all of Munger's books except her most recent, and every one of them makes me laugh out loud as I'm reading. I write business and technical material for a living, so when I read for enjoyment I prefer fiction, and mysteries are my favorite. I read (and enjoy) my share of Kellerman, Sandford, Pearson, Harris, etc. AND Munger! I disagree with anyone who says she doesn't develop her characters. I definitely feel as though I've gotten to know Casey Jones and I look forward to each new adventure. Casey is an overweight, overbearing female private eye whose thoughts and actions are not what you'd expect if you're used to following the males of the mystery genre...and they shouldn't be! Munger's stereotypes of southerners are surpassed only by her own stereotypes of northerners, and from what I've read of the author, who should know these stereotypes better than someone who was born in the south but spent considerable time in the north. It's true, I pick up Munger's books when I want a "lighter" mystery to read, and "Money to Burn" was just the ticket. When I finished it, I was already looking forward to her next book.

Review: If laughter is the best medicine, doctors should be prescribing Casey Jones novels.

Summary: Wit and insight bring to life the big heart of heroine Casey
Review: Katy Munger is tops in her mastery of the changing Southern atmosphere and the sometimes hapless characters making their way through it. Munger turns a phrase with the best, and her Casey Jones, woman sleuth with grit and grits, comes to life in a twist and turn plot. This time Casey gets involved with big money, and, finally, big love ("Viagra in the air"). Pay attention in this book because you're reading about some big issues of responsibility, family values (heard that one before?), homophobia, racism, elitism, and just some other good Southern stuff. But then, isn't the South simply a damp, heated up version of the rest of the world?
