"I first picked up Walter Mosley because I'd read that he was one of Bill Clinton's favorite authors---made me curious. There's no doubt--Mosley's Easy Rawlins is a very charming character and his adventures through South L.A. are both interesting and enlightening. There is a fascinating moral code in Easy's world---which makes for good reading---and it is fun to speculate about his appeal to Clinton." — Nancy (4 out of 5 stars)

" This is a great detective story without a detective. Easy Rawlins is a lovable, fallible character. His dilemmas are often solved by circumstance, and bad luck, despite good intention. Mosley is just brilliant. "
" A good read. I enjoy the EZ Rawlins series and other books by Walter E. Mosley. He captures the essence of a situation and keeps it "real" in his descriptive words and phrases. At times, it was almost as if I was there :) "
" See my comments on the whole Easy Rawlins series in my (very brief) review of "Devil in a Blue Dress." "
" Part of my "Books Read" list I found while moving/unpacking. "
" I had my ups and downs with this book... "
" Perfect summer reading.... Fast page turning novel. "
" Another great piece of detective fiction from Mosley. I'm not even a big fan of mystery novels (expect for a passion for Sherlock Holmes stories), but Mosley has much more going on in his stories than just a mystery. "
" This book started off super-steamy and the rest was no disappointment. Great book! "
" Not one of my favorites, but still good. I love the evolution of Easy's life. "
" Great read from the series "

" Absolutely loving Easy Rawlins. Thoroughly enthralled by Mr. Mosley's prose. I have always been fascinated with "Walter Mosley." Don't know why I'm just getting around to reading him. I'm going to try to get him to mentor me. :-) "
" Easy did not impress menin this book. "
" My favorite of all the Easy Rawlin books. It was the opening line that hooked me and drew me in. "

" It took me a while to finish this one because I just started feeling crummy for Easy--wanted him to catch a break at least once. But when I returned to it, I fell right in. Just as good as the others. "
" Easy Rawlins never fails to entertain. It must have really sucked to be black in LA in '60s right around the time of the riots. "
" Not bad at all. Reminded me of Spillanes I've read ages ago. Perhaps this was somewhat better written. Must check and read another Mickey Spillane book. Mike Hammer, here I come! "
" good Easy story, set in early 60s--a bit heavy on the steamy sex "
" Stylishly written detective fiction, featuring a black american amateur sleuth. Witty and exciting. "
" I like most of Walter Mosley's books. Great pulp fiction mysteries and so easy to read. (Good vacation reads) "
