“Loved most of it, as I have all the Easy Rawlins novels, but was sorely disappointed in the ending. I can't stand fiction books - even those from my favorite authors - that leave readers hanging at the end.

If the story's going to continue in another installment down the line, give us a hint. If it isn't, give us a hint. Casual readers might not get it, but loyal fans will.”“This is a Walter Mosley Mystery. I hate mysteries but Mosley has a way with words. I have a new addiction, and it is called Walter Mosley.

“I find the Easy Rawlins books fascinating. while the plot sometimes seems a little contrived the characters are always interesting and Mosley's style keeps the pace moving and really captures my interest.”

“Without giving away the ending, this might be the last we'll ever see of Easy Rawlins. This is an action-packed, yet romantic story that will have you turning pages until the bittersweet end.”

Yes | No“If you haven't opened one of Mosely's novels about L.A. in the late 50's and 60's, featuring Black philosopher/private investigator "Easy" Rawlins, you are missing some of the finest writing available between covers about race and relationships. Start with Devil in a Blue Dress, though. This novel is fine, and strong, but to appreciate the interior conflicts and references to current and former characters, you want to begin at the beginning. The language reflects the streets and the times, so this may not be in your school library. I'd still point it out to older teens living in rough places. Rawlins is best friends with a killer, but adopts a few street kids as his own, works as a janitor in a public school, but is better read than many college graduates. This is a character who speaks the language of Watts, as well as the language of moral authority.”
