Book Description
Casey Jones is as tough as they come. She's big, blond and shoots to kill with the best of them -- even if she does lack an official P.I. license due to an unfortunate interlude behind bars. It takes a lot to faze her...but there are still some cases that hit her like a piledriver to the gut. This is one of them.
Helen McInnes, the victim of a horrible crime, barely escaped with her life. Traumatized by the experience, she can no longer set foot outside her home. Further devastated by her attacker's acquittal and the anonymous threats she begins to receive, Helen turns to Casey for help reclaiming her life. Leaving Helen with a motley crew of bodyguards-including Casey's temperamental boyfriend Burly, her corpulent partner Bobby D., his equally rotund paramour Fanny, and a near-comatose dog named Killer -- Casey heads back to school. But she's prowling nearby Duke University with a different sort of education in mind: one that will help her unmask a fiend who has been using the campus as his personal hunting ground...and enable her to survive him when she finds him.

Repent, Sue Grafton!,

This review is from: Better Off Dead: A Casey Jones Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Casey deserves much more attention and praise than Kinsey Milhone. She's smarter, funnier, sexier, more human, and just plain better-written. I've recommended Casey to all my mystery-reading friends, and they've all become converts to the cause. Ms. Munger, please -- where's the next Casey??

This review is from: Better Off Dead: A Casey Jones Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Smart, randy, funny and big-hearted, Casey Jones is my favorite P.I. Munger's writing is a joy to read, like listening to a friend tell a story... she tackles difficult issues without mawkishness. Her humorous tone packs a real wallop. Casey is fun to read, but makes you think.

This review is from: Better Off Dead: A Casey Jones Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the 5th book in the series.Casey goes undercover in this one and has fun doing it. In this one, you want to join the fight in finding the person, who hurt Helen. And Casey gets a lot of help in this one with the wonderful, hilarious and resourceful regular characters from the previous CJ books, and with a couple of extra new ones characters too. Superb book!!
