Dr. Skinny Lizard

Loved it.... Utterly fantastic What more can be said. You are drawn in and hooked.

LA import

Beauty kills. A great way to access Mosley and his character, Easy Rawlins. LA is a gritty backdrop and, as is common in thriller fiction, yet another character in the novel. Easy is always one inch away from getting wasted by evil characters -some enemies and some friends- and he does get beat up plenty, but he manages to outsmart the nasties and figures out how to get to resolution. Easy doesn't like violence and especially its excesses, but he seems surrounded by it. The devil in the title has a complicated little secret: her beauty is such that grown men (including Easy) are ready to forget her lies and her treacheries. Everybody harbors the illusion that they could live happily ever after with her. LA urban noir at its best.

I Loved It. This is a classic in Black American fiction. It's definitely a great read.

WaveSkiBoy

Devil in a Blue Dress.... Too good.. Perhaps the most consistent, finest mystery writer in America since Hammett and Chandler, Walter Mosley never ceases to amaze, and Devil in a Blue Dress is one of his best. Beautifully structured, fast-paced, the novel is made to be read in a single, long sitting - maybe on a rainy Sunday, with a bottle of rye or bourbon- so the reader can spend the entire day with Easy Rawlins and Mouse and Daphne Monet. And if that's not enough, watch the movie version with Denzel Washington and Jennifer Beal and Don Cheadle. Magnificent.
