The Wheel of Doll

I received a free copy of this book as part of the Novel Suspects Insider's Club.
This is the second book in the Happy Doll series. And also the second book by Jonathan Ames that I read.
I have to confess that before I received this book I didn't know anything about the author or series. And, even though this type of books (noir and unnecessarily violent) is not my thing, there are some things that I definitely enjoyed. In general, I liked the Happy Doll character (although I disagree with most of his decisions) and I like that we really got to know him and his back story throughout the first two books of the series. 
In The Wheel of Doll, Happy is hired to find Ines, a woman from his past and his first love. He was hired by her daughter, but Happy soon realizes that nothing is what it seems, and in finding Ines, he was doing the opposite of saving her.
