Reviews
Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins novels are a series of perfectly balanced concoctions of lust, violence, politics and race . . . Mosley hits his typically inspired stride, once again demonstrating how, in American life, private drama and public tragedy often feed off one another
A thriller with everything and more: great writing with depth and feeling, twisting plot, brilliant dialogue and wonderful characters
When I had finished reading A Little Yellow Dog, I went out and got all four of Walter Mosley's previous Easy Rawlins novels and read them straight through . . . To write five novels about a character as interesting and complex as Easy and never to flag, never to miss a beat, is pretty amazing
Mosley's combination of superior plotting, precise dialogue and the ability to convey the atmosphere of the times are as effective as in the previous four Easy Rawlins novels
