Book Buzz: Bad to the Bone by Katy Munger: Casey Jones Mysteries

Bad To The Bone (Casey Jones mystery series)“The cover copy compares Katy Munger to Janet Evanovich and Sue Grafton, but I find Casey Jones more interesting, complex, (and yes, sexy) than Stephanie Plum or Kinsey Milhone could ever hope to be.” ~ Jerry D. Rhoades, Amazon Review

“I like my mysteries with a little meat on them and Casey Jones is certainly a meaty character–and all woman, to boot… This is an excellent series, and I eagerly await the next installment. Go get ‘em, Casey!” ~ A Customer, Amazon Review

“It is a true PI novel in that Casey figures out pretty early who her main suspect is and there are not a bunch of red herrings or suspects like in an Agatha Christie book. But the villain is great, especially if you have ever known someone like this particular villain which I would guess most people have.” ~ Sally from Denver, Amazan Review

Book Description: Don’t mess with North Carolina’s Casey Jones — smart mouth ex-con, unlicensed PI and reluctant partner to a Barry White wannabe. Casey’s big and bad, with attitude to match her altitude. Especially when she’s been double-crossed.
At first, Casey proves a sucker for the fragile blonde who claims her estranged husband has disappeared with their child. But when Casey locates the fugitive spouse a little too easily, she begins to suspect that the lovely Tawny Bledsoe has played her for a fool. Especially when Casey gets stiffed on the fee, then finds herself embroiled in a murder case with Tawny’s name written all over it. Bad check in hand and a bad taste in her mouth, Casey resolves to stop Tawny once and for all, but the battle quickly turns personal with Tawny proves more than a match for the the irrepressible Casey. Ego rattled, Casey laces up her high-tops to track her nemesis to Florida for a Saturday night cat fight. Casey must leave her sweet-and-sour southern ways far behind in order to prove that Tawny Bledsoe is one bad to the bone babe who belongs behind bars — no matter what it takes to bring her down. .Read more on Amazon.
