THESE SIX ACTION-PACKED CASEY JONES ADVENTURES MAY BREAK YOUR FUNNYBONE, BUT THEY WON’T BREAK YOUR WALLET!“Casey Jones joins the ranks of smart and gutsy heroines. The South will never be the same. Don’t miss her.”—Janet Evanovich“Fast-paced and action-packed…The charm here lies in Munger’s writing, which is silky-smooth and packs a wallop.” I Love a Mystery“She is smart, tough, and … wallop.” I Love a Mystery
“She is smart, tough, and tenacious… a wonderfully entertaining read.”—Publisher’s Weekly
Casey Jones cannot be beat for rowdy, action-packed adventures with humor, romance, and hard-boiled mayhem aplenty. She’s hot, she’s hilarious, and she’s so headstrong her quasi-boss Bobby D. can only shake his massive head and do as the lady says.
The hot and hilarious parts go hand-in-hand as the plus-size detective fantasizes her way through a small army of possible inamoratos, now and then anointing one or another, although always off the page and always accompanied by a wisecrack or three.
(“I feel like I’ve been in a train wreck,” says one.
“Of course you do,” replies his lovely date. “Why do you think they call me Casey Jones?”)
LEGWORK, Vol. 1
Author Munger masterfully blends nail-biting suspense with Casey’s hilarious wisecracking narration as she navigates an unsavory southern stew of crooked politicians, crooked cops, old grudges, ancient crimes, and everyone’s favorite, dysfunctional families.
OUT OF TIME, Vol. 2
The family of a death row inmate just isn’t buying the story that she killed her cop husband, and they’ve hired North Carolina’s mouthiest female sleuth to save her from lethal injection—in only a month.
MONEY TO BURN, Vol. 3
When a favorite client gets killed on her watch, Casey vows to find the killer no matter what killers, arsonists, rapists, and spoiled rotten socialites get in her way. Then, to the cynical sleuth’s chagrin—everyone all around her starts falling in love…just before Casey herself is smitten.
BAD TO THE BONE, Vol. 4
BAD TO THE BONE is a rowdy, action-packed adventure with humor, romance, and hard-boiled mayhem aplenty. Its two greatest delights are its vivid antagonists, the big-hearted, tough PI and the petite, pernicious femme fatale, locked in a catfight that should have its own arena.
BETTER OFF DEAD, Vol. 5
Along with their significant others and the gardener, Casey and her oversize partner, Bobby, move in with a rape victim who’s receiving threatening phone calls. The victim knows exactly who attacked her, was tried for it, got away with it and who, she’s sure, is still getting away with it.
BAD MOON ON THE RISE, Vol. 6
Casey follows the trail of a missing basketball star to a prison town in the North Carolina mountains. In order to help out the very hot local sheriff investigate suspicious goings-on in the prison, Casey agrees to be locked up for a week inside a prison once again. Watch for the all-time best ever laugh-out-loud prison break!
Always a rip-roaring romp, these page-turners will appeal to fans of all female sleuth mysteries—private eyes like Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone, Sara Paretsky’s V.I. Warshawski, Laura Lippman’s Tess Monaghan, Marcia Muller’s Sharon McCone, and Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum, as well as their tough and witty male antecedents. If you ever flipped over Philip Marlowe, Spenser, or of course, the immortal Wolfe and his buddy Archie, you’ll fall in love with their direct descendant, Casey Jones, Private Eye.

Loved this series! Casey is funny & “real”!! You definitely need to read this!
As far removed from reality as the New York Times, but way more entertaining.
Didn’t like who she turned the main character into
Too much bad language
I am reading this series now. I love Casey Jones! She’s a bada**!
Every single one of these books is worth the time to read. Wish there would be more.
Reminds one of their southern upbringing on every page.
Great series!! The only thing I found too repetitive was the numerous comments about the eating habits of the lead character’s partner.
Thouroughly enjoying this series
Fun and fast moving, strong female character
When I read the first book in the series I wasn’t sure if I would like the rest of them. By the end of the first book and was more than ready to read the second book and then couldn’t stop until I finished all of them. The main character is not your typical “perfect” detective. She is flawed, self deprecating and rough around the edges. As you read the book, the further you get into it, the more you like her and understand her.
good pace detective story. Casey comes across as a strong woman who is not a bully — which seems to be the current definition of a strong woman. The stories have a good pace and all the individual pieces are brought together by the end.
I really enjoyed this series looking forward to more in the series
Exceptionally entertaining! This series is hilarious and kept me guessing at the same time- I definitely recommend!!
to me,,the novels were something different and really, I did not “get” anything out of them
Want more!
Loved them all.
Story lines are page turners. Found myself giggling throughout book.
My only suggestion is that someone needs to go through and correct some mistakes in book. They are not bad enough to give a “ugh” but reread to see what the sentence was/who it was referring too.
I totally enjoyed these books. Sometimes an author cookie-cuts subsequent stories. I found each one different and refreshing.
