Last night I finished up reading Katy Munger's BETTER OFF
DEAD starring a tough female PI Casey Jones. It was a
terrific read, for me. The well-paced action keeps coming and
the author writes in a sharp, breezy style. The rich humor
had me laughing aloud and only Charles Willeford and Richard
S. Prather have done that. No, I have to include Mr.
Lansdale, too. (Well, I'm sure others have.). IIRC, Ms.
Munger was discussed here recently and is from the Tart Noir
camp. There are a few other titles in the series I'll put in
my TBR piles.
