This was IT. Absolutely worth any hype it gets. Is it a perfect detective novel? Nah, but that‘s mostly b/c Easy isn‘t a hard-boiled gumshoe. Not yet. He‘s just a guy who needs a job. The job? Find a missing white woman. Simple, right? Turns out there‘s more to it than meets the eye. The best part about this book is how well Mosley paints 40‘s LA society. A man like Easy exists because no one else is going to care. Easy‘s just getting started.
