Later the detective finds out that the teakettle is home to an evil Genie that only came out to grant a wish when a 'Toon said the magic words "May all your dreams come true." This phrase was in Roger's favorite song and he sang it while playing his piano in his living room. The genie killed everyone that tried to make a wish, but seeing as his teakettle wasn't so mobile and he couldn't get to the living room where Roger was when he said the words, he had to grant his wishes (and Roger would have chose more carefully but he didn't know his wishes were being granted, the genie just granted the wishes he said when the words "i wish that...." came out of his mouth) but he would be sure to sabatoge every one. Roger;s first wish was to marry Jessica, but the Genie made that last for only a year. His second wish was for a contract with the DeGreasy brothers but the genie made sure that he was never the star only an extra to another 'Toon. The last encounter roger had with the genie he wished for Rocco DeGreasy to be dead becaus ehe stole Jessica away from him, then he walked past the kitchen and the geanie not only killed Rocco but also killed Roger. 

I really enjoyed this book. it had a lot of situations that made you think. It was a murder mystery with comedy, you don't find books like that too often. I enjoyed it.... 4 stars! 

yet again more Roger Rabbit...

Detective Eddie Valient and Roger's clone decide to go back to Roger's house to see if the detective missed anything the first run through. They discover a missing teakettle. Roger says that he took it as a souvenier from an Alice in Wonderland cartoon strip he was once in, that it was just a normal teaketle that anyone could but at the local store. The detective brushes it off and goes to talk to the other DeGreasy brother (who isn't too bright) and finds out that almost everyone he had talked to in his investigation was lying to him or had something to cover up. The brother also asks him if he came across a teakettle at Roger's house, because its his grandmother's and Roger took it from his office. Roger gets proof to show Detective Eddie that the teakettle at his home was used in the set by bringing him a picture of it. Later the detective interviews Jessica Rabbit and she too asks about the same teakettle and offers a rather large reward for it because she claims its solid gold. So Roger and the detective have a lot more work ahead of them, and a lot more questions to ask about the popular suspicious teakettle....

More Roger Rabbit!

I am really liking this book, it reads like a more serious mystery even though its a completely fictional novel. It makes reading it go by very easily and nicely. I get really into the book when I read it. The 'toons in the book can create clones of themselves to make their jobs easier, so that they can go out on more comic strip jobs to earn more money. The detective goes back to his office to work on the case of Roger's death and finds that the place has been broken into, the locked broken off, the windows broken. He goes in and finds what appears to be Roger Rabbit in his chair, h soon realizes that (lucky for him) Roger created a clone of himself before he was killed.
The detective asks the Rabbit clone a few questions and the answers that Roger gives all point to his ex wife, Jessica Rabbit, but Roger is convinced that it wasn't her. There was a gun that was found in his night stand and police later find out that the gun found was the same that killed one of the DeGreasy brothers but Roger claims he has never own a gun. Roger has always wanted to be a detective, and Detective Eddie feels bad about almost calling Roger's case off that he is suckered into agreeing to let Roger's clone be his "sidekick detective" for the next 48 hours he will remain, and the two of them set off to do more investigating......

Roger Rabbit (part 2)

The detective spends his time interviewing everyone that Roger is involved with. This includes his managers, his psychiatrist, the photographer for the cartoons, and his ex wife. Everyone has something to say about Roger Rabbit, which is good in the sense that it gives the detective something to work with, but bad in the sense that everyone holds a different opinion about him and therefore says completely different things and shares completely different stories. Roger calls the detective over to his house telling him that someone tried to kill him, hearing this he immediately rushes over to Roger's burrow. Roger tells him the story of how he was leaving the photographers house and someone came out of nowhere and pied him, they shoved a custard cream pie in his face attempting to smother him. The detective talks to Roger's psychiatrist about this and the doctor tells him that Roger has has nightmares about this exact event and that it wouldn't surprise him if it was Roger making the whole thing up. After hearing this the detective has decided that he has had enough, that he doesn't want to be on this wild goose chase anymore, so he goes over to Roger's house to tell him he wants out of the case. When he arrives at Roger's house he finds Roger on the stairs, dead.....
