Über diesen Titel
Private eye Eddie Valiant doesn't like Toons - those cartoon characters who live side-by-side with humans. Not the way they look, and especially not the way they talk: word-filled balloons come out of their mouths and then disintegrate, leaving dust all over his rug.
Eddie will work for a Toon if his cash supply is low enough. So he reluctantly agrees when Roger Rabbit, a Toon who plays straight man (or should that be straight rabbit) in the Baby Herman cartoon series, asks him to find out who's been trying - unsuccessfully - to buy his contract from the DeGreasy Brothers syndicate.
Then Rocco DeGreasy is murdered - and Roger is the prime suspect! The rabbit is also, as Eddie soon discovers, very, very dead. Who censored Roger Rabbit? And who shot Rocco DeGreasy? Was it Roger, or was it Rocco's hot-cha-cha girlfriend, Jessica Rabbit? Why had Jessica - a pretty steamy number for a Toon - ever married a dopey bunny in the first place? And why does everybody want Roger's battered old teakettle?
As Eddie combs L.A. from the executive suites of the DeGreasy Brothers to Sid Sleaze's porno comic studio, he uncovers art thefts, blackmail plots...and the cagiest killer he's ever faced.

.Murder Mystery with a Twist
This is an incredibly well-done mystery with interesting twists, but that’s only part of the appeal: there are really creative fantasy elements (with phenomenal worldbuilding) that are used to comment on societal issues. It plays with the typical tropes of detective stories and is also really funny.
The idea of a world inhabited by cartoon characters and humans is interesting and Gary Wolf really utilizes all of the possibilities: there are comments on racism throughout the book, however the description of how life would work in that situation doesn’t stop there. Wolf had a lot of fun ideas besides the more serious aspects discussed (which never felt ham-fisted).
The reader gets a fascinating look at the entertainment industry, filled with memorable characters. Sure, our protagonist is the stereotypical private detective, for good reason, but most people and toons in this are very much their own. Also, the dynamic of Roger and Valiant really grew on me.
I also loved the writing style: it was a humorous take on a noir-style detective novel from a flawed character’s perspective, which gave me a good feel for the world immediately.
This was so much better than I thought it would be: it mastered all it attempted, and I just thoroughly enjoyed my time listening to the audio book.
