5.0 out of 5 stars A Laugh-Out-Loud Mystery, Sep 19 2002

By

This review is from: Money to Burn:: A Casey Jones Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)

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.

This is the 3rd book in the series.Casey is the best PI character in the mystery genre and is an great character to read. She get's in over her head, loves what she does and meets the men who love her for her.

This review is from: Money to Burn:: A Casey Jones Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this one. I ran across it from a friend and got the other two last summer. I had no idea what a Krispy Kreme doughnut was and now I make 2 hour drives to Vegas to get two dozen... If you do this also, just bring home and put in micro for 6 seconds and then, go to heaven...pick up the book and eat.

Casey is sassy, entertaining, and real. I love mysteries and this was one of my favorite. It is an easy read and great for a weekend quick pick me up. Good job, Katy. Keep em coming.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sorry about the four stars...
Munger is a five-star writer, but this story that revolves around tobacco is one I couldn't get into for the subject matter. Read more

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