I don't want to start a debate about who's better, Munger or Evanovich, especially because from the quote Evanovich gives her it looks like they might be friends. But I find Munger to be very different from Evanovich to the point where you can't really compare the two. I think Evanovich writes to women who like romance and amusing humor and who don't care that much about a plot. Munger writes to men and women and while she is very, very funny, her plots are always excellent. She does not sacrifice the conventions of the PI genre to be cutesy, in fact, she pulls them off better than almost anyone else I've read. Her characters are well-rounded, motivations plausible, the tone perfect. Plus she is one the few writers who can write about the south in a real way, she doesn't ignore the redneck element but she doesn't make it sound like that's all there is either. Some people read her because she is funny in a scathing, sometimes scary way (literature majors will recognize some major puncturing of ego going on). Some people seem to read her because they like Casey getting it on with guys or think she's a good role model. Others read her for the mysteries and the twists and turns she throws in. I read her for all of these reasons and I hope she keeps on balancing the elements. We don't need another Evanovich. We need more Munger!

I'd like to say that this is the best one yet, but then people might be tempted to read only the latest in the series. Start from the beginning and work your way through. It's worth it!

I really wish I could use more than 5 stars for Money to Burn. Casey Jones is back with her smart-mouth, bawdy attitude, and her undeniable charm. I really enjoyed Legwork and Out of Time, but Money to Burn is as darn near perfection as you'll find. I loved the recurring and new characters, the story, the writing, the suspense, and every darn word. This is a must read book!

After finishing a great book or series, sometimes it's just hard to beat one as great as Katy Munger's Casey Jones! Read more

The best in an EXCELLENT series!!!!!!
Munger is a genius at using humor to soften us up for the coup de grace. I laughed out loud again and again and then realized that all this humor was setting me up to take some... Read more

Very Enjoyable
Where I wouldn't exactly say Katy Mungar is up there with Janet Evanovich, she is not that far behind. Each book is getting better. Read more

Wit and insight bring to life the big heart of heroine Casey
Katy Munger is tops in her mastery of the changing Southern atmosphere and the sometimes hapless characters making their way through it. Read more
