Book Reviews of Bad to the Bone (Casey Jones Mysteries #4)

Book Review: Good Book & Fast Paced
Summary: 4 Stars

Right after Jeff leaves the office this older blonde woman walks into Casey's office telling her that her ex husband has beaten her up and taken their little girl. She wants Casey to find her for her. Casey feels sorry for this woman who calls herself Tawny, but when she does some investigating and also finds the little girl she begins to wonder if Tawny is really who she says she is.

Casey is drawn into a murder case where Tawny's ex husband is accused of killing the lover of Tawny. When Casey is paid with a bad check from Tawny she starts to believe that maybe the ex husband is being set up and with Casey on the case, you know things are going to start happening. Very nice ending with all the ends tied up neatly.

I will say I didn't like this one as much as the third in the series, but I do like the Casey Jones character and I will continue to read the next books that come out. I do know that number 5 is available and Ms. Munger is in the process of writing number 6 which will probably be out in 2005.

Summary of Bad to the Bone (Casey Jones Mysteries #4)

Taking It To The Mat...

Don't mess with North Carolina's Casey Jones-smart-mouthed ex-con, unlicensed P.I. 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 blond 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 when Tawny proves more than a match for the irrespressible Casey. Ego rattled, Casey laces up her high-tops to track her nemesis to Florida for a Saturday night catfight. 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.
