The Trouble with Tony really is a fun read.  In this story we have Tony DiMarco who used to be a Seattle PD detective but after getting shot in the leg quit the police and became a private investigator.  He has been hired by a family to investigate the death of their 28 year old daughter.  As part of this investigation Tony is led to the "Expanding Horizons" sex clinic where the victim was undergoing treatment.Tony first visits the clinic under the pretense that he is a sex addict but after meeting take-no-bullcrap Dr. Jack Halloran he quickly fesses up to his real affliction.  Dr. Jack Halloran used to be an Army surgeon but after being injured in the line of fire he can no longer perform surgery.  So he had to quit the service and find a new career.  This is how he came to be a sex counselor at this clinic.  He feels damaged and only a reflection of who he used to be.This story is chock-full of sexual euphemisms.  Plus even though Tony's very stereotypical Italian family lives across the U.S. (particularly his mom,) it is a source of hilarious dialogue.  What I liked about this book is that even though it is a short story, it has a nice plot and the characters are three dimensional.  I look forward to reading the next installment.
