This is my second Ed Noon mystery and I enjoyed this one too. It's written in a humorous noirish style. Such a contrast between being "hard bitten" and downright funny. Bouncing Betty is a 440 lb woman who tests mattresses. Someone is trying to kill her and she hires Ed Noon to protect her. But her boss busts in and tries to buy Ed off so he won't investigate. Things get hot, literally, from there and Ed Noon solves the mystery. It was a little hard to believe that Bouncing Betty didn't know why someone was out to kill her after what we find out had happened. But the book was so much fun to read that I overlooked the stretch there.
