Summary: Super Sleuth Casey Jones Does It Again!
Review: I like Casey because she's resembles a real person....you can just see her as your wacky cousin or hard-hearted sister (if your sister dresses like a hooker and likes younger men, that is!) I think Casey could whip Stephanie Plumm...after all, Casey *is* a Southern girl!!! This is my favorite book in the series. It's fast-paced, non-stop action. I highly recommend every one of her books!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Katy Munger is a star!
Review: I'm a fairly new fan of the Casey Jones series. I started, oh, maybe a year ago with OUT OF TIME. About three weeks ago, I read MONEY TO BURN. I made the mistake of starting the book near bedtime. Naturally, I was up half the night reading. Now, did I learn my lesson? No. I started reading BAD TO THE BONE the night I purchased it, resulting in another night's missed sleep.

There is not a single paragraph in this book that is slow, dull, or boring. Not a single paragraph. There aren't many books you can say that about. But, I'm warning you that once you start the book, there is absolutely no way known to mankind to stop reading.

Besides the nothing-short-of-gifted sense of humor Katy Munger displays, she can make a character spring to life in one sentence. The reader is carried along with the fast-moving plot, the humor and the characterization. Amazing writing.

I highly recommend you begin at the beginning of this series and work your way forward to BAD TO THE BONE. Just get yourself a box a day of Krispy Kreme doughnuts and have a blast.

Only problem is, now we have to wait a year for another one.

Summary: Perfect!
Review: I've enjoyed all the Casey Jones books written by Katy Munger, and I really thought she would never be able to top Money to Burn. Man, was I ever wrong. Bad to the Bone was an absolute delight from beginning to end. I read the entire book in one evening (and night). I can do without sleep when a book is this good!

The plot, characters......Heck the entire book was just perfect. I wouldn't change a word. Casey Jones kicks some major butt in this one. :) I was so pleased to get a glimpse into Casey's past life, and I really liked the way she handled it. These books are darned good mysteries, but they are just flat-out great fiction. If you are in the mood for humor in a PERFECT book, buy this book now. If you haven't read the rest of the series, go ahead and order them at the same time. You'll be back, and this will save you postage. ;)

Summary: What a raunchy mess!
Review: Isn't there enough vulgarity in the world already? Bring back Dorothy L. Sayers and Ellis Peters, etc. More vulgar, obscene, dreck like this, the world does not need.

Spend your money on writers who rely on wit and writing skill, instead of raunch and shock value, to hold a reader's attention.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT!
Review: Katy Munger does it again! I read this book in one day. I couldn't get up.

I hope I still have my job tomorrow.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best yet
Review: Katy Munger has done it again, only better. Revisiting Casey Jones is as much fun as ever and the action is swift and clever. I really like lead characters that are human, with human foibles and weaknesses, rather than the infallible cardboard ones found in so many mysteries. Casey Jones is not perfect. Which is probably the thing I like best about her. Bad To The Bone is terrific.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Casey Jones Rules!
Review: Katy Munger has done it again. BAD TO THE BONE is almost impossible to put down once you start it. The writing, and especially the depth of insight into Casey Jones' character, flaws and all, is both compelling and awesome. The other characters -- Tawny Bledsoe in particular are realistically developed, so much so that every time Tawny appears on the scene, you can feel the hairs on the back of your neck start to lift. And Casey's motivation -- to bring down someone as evil and manipulative as Tawny -- is credible and gets the reader rooting for her all the way through. And, as usual, Katy Munger shows the South without sugar coating but with obvious affection and intimacy. I'm looking forward to the next book in this intriguing series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: TERRIFIC BOOK!
Review: Katy Munger's Casey Jones mysteries are great, apart from the appeal of a great mystery story the added humor is a terrific bonus. It takes a lot to make me laugh and I found myself laughing out loud, even the author's blurb at the end of the book has some humor thrown in. Do not miss this mystery series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great raunchy one-liners
Review: Some excellent off-color humor. Wonderful female fight scenes. Sex of all kinds. A great female villain. I couldn't put it quite up there with Evanovich and Grafton because there are a few weak lines and cliches "This unleashed a new episode of fury - the display was awesome" and in the scene whete she tricks a murderer into confessing the long speeches were unlikely.
