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.

Casey Jones is a smart, strong, female detective with a heart of gold. The stories are fast-paced, witty, and sometimes make me laugh out loud.
AMAZING. I am so impressed with this writer. She puts you right in the story and man is it scary at times. I love Casey , she is amazing. This is a great series. I hope it continues.
Casey Jones is not like any character in any book I have ever read. By writing her in the first person, the author makes Casey come alive. You see everything through her eyes and literally become part of the action, part of what’s going on. You feel what she feels and you understand who she is. She is tough and very outspoken and yet at the same time, empathetic and insensitive. The author’s style is witty and entertaining. All 6 books are great reads.
My only regret after reading Casey Jones Vol 1-6, is that there isn’t a Vol. 7. Loved the characters that developed and stayed as the plot lines unfolded. I only hope that Casey will come down the mountain and help another friend right a wrong.
Just meh. Didn’t finish them
Love me my Casey Jones! Funny, strong and unapologetic character with a heart as big as North Carolina!
Great series of books with an interesting central character
Casey Jones is an unexpected character who you will quickly fall in love with. These books are well-written and have many unexpected plot turns.
I love Casey Jones! Strong, funny, sexy, brave. A great character, along with all her other friends and co-workers. Interesting, original plots.
Casey is great! I thoroughly enjoyed her escapades as a detective. I enjoy the way her mind works. I almost hear the gears grinding! The fast pace, plot twists and interesting characters make it a fun and edge of the seat page turner.
Characters so appealing that I would like to meet them (except for the bad guys). Interesting plots. Kick-ass female lead. Fewer than average errors. Great sense of humor.
They were a very different from the other mysteries I usely read. Parts of them were so funny part were ridiculous, you just had to see what she was going to get in to next.
Munger writes the best Casey Jones yet with the sixth in the series.
Great characters continue to build layer after layer with each book. Suspenseful storyline will keep you flipping the pages until the mystery is solved.
I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series and highly recommend this book to fans of the contemporary romantic suspense genre .
Enjoyable, light reading.
I LOVED this series! The mysteries were very good. Suspenseful and well written. It was not easy to guess the villian. Casey is so realistic and down to earth. Tough girl but not obnoxious and she has a heart of gold. Supporting characters were also good. So many books now seem to try too hard and many seem to be a copy cat of Janet Evanovich. This book was not that. It was original and well written. There were also many laugh out loud moments. I hope this series continues.
Casey Jones is my heroine – smart, tough, funny, sexy and sassy.
Very entertaining, easy to read, but hard to guess, makes you want to keep reading.
I enjoyed the plots and Casey’s sense of humor.
Original for a lady PI, acts like a man of the 60s in regards to the opposite sex. Always keeps going on until she solves the problem in question. Very entertaining read.
A likeable cast of characters set in an engaging storyline. The stories are full of enough twists to keep you reading late into the night. Overall a very enjoyable series.
