"A very solid collection of short stories and novelettes based around the Easy Rawlins character. Occasionally a plot is slightly underdeveloped (or, more frequently, the story cries out for some more of Mosley's magic). "
— Thom (4 out of 5 stars)

" Six Easy Rawlins stories, loosely linked together. I enjoyed the first one, but the formula got tedious. Rawlins is given a complex biography, but his bio doesn't seem to have much to do with the mysteries he gets involved in. "
