I'm hooked...
-
This story was my introduction to Walter Mosley... and I absolutely loved it!!!
The protagonist is Ezekiel Rawlins (Easy for short) and the year is 1967... in real life I was 12 yo in 67, and wasn't paying a lot of attention to what was going on. I knew about the Watts Riots down in Los Angeles but it wasn't anything I cared about... In this book I learn about what it meant to be black back in the day and I realize not a lot has changed in the ensuing years... I know this is a mystery, a great one, I might add, but it's so much more as it really makes you think!
I loved Easy as he works his PI job, searching for the missing kids of worried parents, and also searching for his friend Christmas... Christmas has a very worried, and very scared daughter...
Michael Boatman as our narrator, is like a long, cool drink of water on a Hot day! He gives a masterful performance... and moves up to become one of my favorite narrators.
The book, even though it's like the 11th one in the series, stands squarely on it's own, so feel free to start here... I'm sure you'll be hooked... I certainly am!
