Summary: Sorry about the four stars...
Review: Munger is a five-star writer, but this story that revolves around tobacco is one I couldn't get into for the subject matter. It also involves a poor little rich girl, which is a plotline that's never appealed to me, not when the girl's old enough to change her own life.But the plot is a solid one, the characters varied and real and mean when they need to be. Casey Jones is a great lead character. I worry about her drinking (and driving) and eating habits. 170 pounds of muscle? Tell that one to the guy behind the Krispy Kreme counter, Case. And she's got a fascinating romantic lead in this volume. (So glad to see he stuck around for at least one more book!) Of the four Munger books I've read so far, this is the only one that really didn't grab and hold me until I couldn't put it down... but I still give it four stars for tension and style.

Summary: The best in an EXCELLENT series!!!!!!
Review: Munger is a genius at using humor to soften us up for the coup de grace. I laughed out loud again and again and then realized that all this humor was setting me up to take some hard looks at myself and a lot of other things. She is the ONLY humorous mystery writer out there today who consistently offers a great plot in addition to laughs. Her character Casey is really great, too, a strong woman and unapologetic about it. As a man, she really appeals to me and most female sleuths annoy me, to be blunt. I think Munger will be really big one day when word gets out. if you are tired of reading crap, try one of her books. I did not read them in order and they all stand alone very well. This one is the best because her characterizations are top-notch, but the other two are incredibly entertaining as well.

Summary: More!!!
Review: That one word sums it up - I want to see more. Great writer, great story - had me laughing out loud and staying up late to see how it ends. Can't wait for the next one - I just hope she avoids the recently common trend of killing off the love interest.

Summary: Very Enjoyable
Review: Where I wouldn't exactly say Katy Mungar is up there with Janet Evanovich, she is not that far behind. Each book is getting better. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and look forward to her next.
