Product Description
The inimitable Casey Jones is back in "Bad Moon on the Rise," sixth in the Casey Jones mystery series by Katy Munger. When a young basketball star and his drug-addicted mother disappear without a trace, the boy's ailing grandmother begs a reluctant Casey to find him before she dies. But even the normally unflappable Casey Jones is thrown for a loop when she discovers evidence of a murder in their wake and uncovers a shocking secret about the identity of the boy's father. When the case gets very personal, Casey has a difficult time separating her professional and personal judgment - with disastrous results that put her freedom at peril and endanger the boy's wellbeing. In this sixth Casey Jones mystery, kick-ass P.I. Casey is back with her trademark irreverence and a cast of supporting characters her fans have come to love, including her whale-sized boss, Bobby D., the ever-intrepid Marcus Dupree, Bill Butler, an old country boy flame and a new man in uniform who may just eclipse them all in Casey's heart. "Bad Moon on the Rise" offers readers plenty of action, plenty of humor and plenty for Casey fans to enjoy.

Same great Casey, somewhat disappointing plot
16 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
Casey is back with a vengeance - to put herself in the line of fire, and to face her ultimate fears in order to bring to justice the killers of a young former junkie woman, and to recover her son in time for him to bid his dying grandmother goodbye. In the process, she might, just might find a new love of her life, and to finally reach an emotional closure on her past relationship with Burly. Along the way, enter an addict kitten, a six foot long plexiglass hot dog, a bunch of female prisoners, and a Rambo-style military compound leader with a heart of gold (to mention a few...) - don't ask, read the story - it's worth it.
Still - while Casey is Casey at her best, the plot line kind of fizzles - Casey follows an intriguing lead, agrees to go undercover in prison (in what must be the most undercooked law enforcement plan ever...) and discovers what was pretty much expected - a bunch of corrupted guys did a number of bad things for reasons rather vague (other than monetary gain or pure sadistic pleasure). Some ends get tied in, most don't. What is missing is an up close and personal look at the villain(s) - something always present in all previous Katy Munger's novels. At the same time, I thoroughly enjoyed Casey (as rowdy as ever - after a long hiatus), and I thought that the story line concerning Burly was touching and well thought through. It was good to visit with some of old Casey's friends as well - Ramsey, Bobbie D., and Marcus for sure... All in all, strong book on characters, not so on the "who did part" - but then again - who cares - Casey was there, and so was most of the gang - the story was OK, if not great - who cares...
Not a book to read as a stand alone but if you are following Casey Jones story line - definitely not one to be missed....

Good Read
13 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you're a fan of Katy Munger and Casey Jones, you can't miss this one. I've always loved Katy's quirky characters and the crazy, daring and brave Casey Jones. The first 3 chapters were a bit depressing as Casey had to delve into the dark world of hard core drugs. And later in the book she goes undercover in a women's penitentiary which was somewhat nerve racking for me. But her persistence pays off. Bobby D is his usual hilarious self and turns out to have a pretty courageous part in this story. I couldn't find this book in bookstores so I was very happy to be able to order it from Amazon!

Great to have Casey Jones back again!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Katy Munger has reprised her Casey Jones character. How wonderful for her fans. The plot was already described by an earlier reviewer, so there is no need to restate it. Full enjoyment of "Bad Moon on the Rise," I think, needs familiarity with the previous books in the series, but still a fun read and, hopefully, will be followed by another book in the series. Highly recommended for mystery fans who enjoy a strong female protagonist with "attitude."
