Synopsis

Hard-boiled gumshoe Eddie Valiant lands a plum job as Gary Cooper's bodyguard while Coop scouts locations for his next movie—a screwball comedy titled Hi, Toon! But Eddie's dream job quickly turns into a nightmare. The film's being shot in Toontown, and Coop's costar turns out to be none other than Roger Rabbit. Eddie's a big fan of Coop. Of Roger? Not so much. Now a sinister hoodlum is threatening to murder Coop if the movie gets made. Before long, Eddie, Coop, Roger, and the ever-glamorous Jessica Rabbit are embroiled in a mystery that could destroy Toontown. When Roger bites off more Toonish trouble than Eddie can swallow, the answer to the question Who Wacked Roger Rabbit? suddenly becomes no laughing matter.

Toontastic ride through the zaney side of toons, with Valient getting silly you can almost see what he may have been originally.......more

Goodreads review by Eddie on March 02, 2016

This one felt...off. It's like the author forgot establishing facts about the characters from the previous book (I'll give a pass on the first one since it's vastly different and technically "all a dream" in the prior books). For a book entirely taking place in Toontown, was surprisingly boring.......more
