Product Description
From the Author
Smart asses of the world -- unite!
If you like your humor with an edge and think that too many mysteries these days are fuddy-duddy and boring, then give my book a try. It can give you a fresh look at the South the way it really is (forget all that corn-pone crap) and you'll get a mystery and some laughs along with it. Try this book if you like your women strong and sassy and appreciate wry social commentary. Skip it if sarcasm turns you off or if you're offended by jokes about sex and the very occasional dirty word (there are no graphic scenes about sex or violence, however). As always, I'd welcome your comments via e-mail when you're done reading "Out Of Time". If you hurry, you can even influence my next Casey Jones, due out in the summer of 1999. Also, I have an upcoming 60-Second Mystery on the avonbooks.com website, so check it out if you want more Casey. Enjoy! -- Katy Munger

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Out of Time is Katy Munger's second entry in the gut-busting and suspenseful Casey Jones mystery series. In the sequel to Legwork, Jones is in search of the answers that might prove the innocence of a young woman on death row. Unfortunately, the woman was convicted several years ago and her execution date is only a few weeks away.
Although Casey quickly becomes convinced of the young woman's innocence, her efforts to find proof to clear her name are challenging. Casey slowly uncovers evidence that leads her to consider several possible suspects for the crime - a conspiracy involving several law enforcement officials. Even more alarming, one of those suspects is Bill Butler and that puts a crimp in Katy's plans for Bill. Unfortunately for Casey, her client is running out of time - and as Casey puts herself straight in the line of fire, so is she.
Set in North Carolina, the Casey Jones series is not only characterized by a feisty heroine and plenty of action, but by a distinctly southern feel. And fortunately for readers, all of these elements are presented with Munger's devastating sense of humor. I mean, how often does a suspense story regularly make mention of Krispy Kreme doughnuts? (Needless to say, those of us who live or have lived in the south can sincerely appreciate Casey's weakness for this delicacy.)
If you haven't read the first Casey Jones mystery, Out of Time is easily read as a stand-alone novel. But I'll bet you a couple of moon pies that you'll be racing out to the bookstore to get a copy of Legwork soon after you've finished this book.

This book keeps you on the edge of your seat. I suggest if you've got things to do don't read it!!!
Grace Jones is a witty, down to earth, hard-hitting private detective who gets the job done, not always by legal means I may add!
If you are looking for suspense and humour rolled into one, this is the book for you. It had me gripping the pages as well as my sides. From beginning to end this mystery had me riveted and it doesn't leave you hanging. All loose ends are well and truly tied up!

Ms. Munger takes a hard look at us Southern folks and we all come up laughing. This is no moss-covered tale - she's right on the money about city politics. She has interestingly let Casey Jones change a bit from when we met her in Legwork - those kind of changes we all make and that a lesser author seems not to note. I'm a big fan of Ms. Munger's work. Grab this one!

READ THIS BOOK !!!
What more can I say. This is a book you must read. It has everything, a good mystery, good humor and great characters. Casey deserves much more attention than she is getting.

Casey Jones is back!
Casey Jones is back and kicking butt! I laughed, cried, and chewed my nails! I really didn't see how Munger could possibly top Legwork, but she did. Read more
