Hard-luck P.I. Happy Doll is back, and looking for a lost love in a very personal case, in Jonathan Ames' The Wheel of Doll.
Doll's search for his drug-addicted former girlfriend, at the behest of the woman's mysterious daughter, takes a number of dark twists and turns.
Ames is known for writing across genres but focusing on humor and crime; his first in this series, A Man Named Doll, leaned more towards comedy but the sequel veers into darker territory. The novel definitely has a harder noir edge than its predecessor.
I hope Ames continues to write Happy Doll novels and I would look forward to reading more.
I checked this out from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana.
