Review of Out of Time: A Casey Jones Mystery (Casey Jones Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

Since recently discovering this series, I have systematically worked my way through almost all of them, and love every single word of them.

Casey Jones is a big gal, which comes in handy in her line of work.Casey's a Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, PI -- unlicensed thanks to a long-ago brush with the law.In this story, Casey is hired by the no-nonsense matriarch of a no-nonsense family to try and save her granddaughter, Gail Honeycutt Taylor, from her impending date with the executioner.Gail is on Death Row for the murder of her police officer husband, and it had never occurred to Casey before to question her guilt.The more she digs into the case, however, the more she becomes convinced that Gail didn't do it.It doesn't help matters that Gail is almost suicidally apathetic and won't lift a finger to help herself.Casey's unorthodox recources and colorful associates make for a devilishly delicious story as she battles cops and bad guys -- and sometimes can't tell the difference -- while Gail's time is rapidly running out.

Casey Jones is a true-blue Southern belle, as is her creator, Katy Munger.She can come join my group of same any time!This book with its quick wit, sparkling dialogue, and stylish plot is not to be missed.In truth, the whole series is divine and I am just dying for the next one.

Product Description
Meet Casey Jones--an unlicensed, no-nonsense private detective who hides 160 pounds of muscle with an in-your-face femme fatale style. She's bold, she's bad and, most of all, she's nobody's fool. Underneath her wise-cracking, 100% Southern exterior, there beats a 14-karat heart with a definite spot for life's losers. With the brains to take on any challenge and the guts to impose her own brand of justice, Casey Jones has what it takes to be your best friend--or your very worst enemy.

This time around, Casey takes on a case that batters her once-sturdy body and threatens to expose her closest held secret. When her investigation into the case of a woman on death row sets her at odds with her hometown police force, Casey quickly learns that true blue friends aren't necessarily clad in blue. One by one, bodies begin to fall, while Casey holds her ground. She must race to uncover the truth before more people die--and before she takes the rap for their murders. With the help of an unlikely pair of bloodhounds and even more unlikely pair of bloodhounds and even more unlikely allies, Casey battles back to reclaim her client's life and her own, and to set a trap for a very clever killer. . .before time runs out.
