Book Overview

In this latest installment of the Easy Rawlins series from beloved and bestselling author Walter Mosley, the L.A. private eye has his hands full with the investigation of a racially charged murder. Easy Rawlins has started a new detective agency with two trusted partners and has a diamond ring in his pocket for his longtime girlfriend Bonnie Shay. Finally, Easy's life seems to be heading towards something that looks like normalcy, but, inevitably, a case gets in the way. Easy's friend Mouse calls in a favor--he wants Easy to meet with Rufus Tyler, an aging convict whom everyone calls Charcoal Joe. Joe's friend's son, Seymour, has been charged with the murder of two white men. Joe is convinced the young man is innocent and wants Easy to prove it no matter what the cost. But seeing as how Seymour was found standing over the dead bodies, and considering the racially charged nature of the crime, that will surely prove to be a tall order.

Boring

This is a very boring book. You cannot get interested enough to read it. The Scarpetta series has been the best. I cannot find anymore like that.

Slow

By Janicealone, January 11, 2024 Verified Purchase

This book is such a disappointment. I don't know if John is sick or just sick of writing. Nothing about this book draws me in. Not the subject, nor the characters. After 129 pages, I just couldn't finish it. That's never happened with a John Grisham book before, not for me anyway.
