"Richly atmospheric....Devil in a Blue Dress honors the hard-boiled tradition of Hammett/Chandler/Cain in its story line and attitude, but Mosley takes us down some mean streets that his spiritual predecessors never could have.... A fast-moving, entertaining story written with impressive style." ( Los Angeles Times Book Review)
"Ezekiel 'Easy' Rawlins, a young, tough black veteran living in 1948 Los Angeles, only wants respect and enough money to pay his mortgage. When fired from his factory job, however, he undertakes some paid errands for a shady white mobster who wishes to locate a light-haired, blue-eyed beauty. As Easy plumbs his usual hangouts for clues, he relays information to the mobster, runs afoul of the police, meets the mysterious woman, discovers a murder, then investigates in self-defense. An unusually refreshing protagonist...talented prose, and evocative, realistic descriptions of speech, manners, and social life make this an exceptional and welcome addition." ( Library Journal)

I accidentally stumbled upon this series of books. Smart, well-written and complex motive arising out of base human desires. Plus, EZ solves the mystery without relying on superhuman reasoning, observation or intuition.

I'm definitely listening to more in this series.

EZ is smart fun

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book because it is well-written and centered in the African American community which is a perspective not covered enough.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot was unpredictable and engaging, keeping us interested and eager to hear what came next. It was more violent than we expected and seemed more realistic in some ways, not your usual "turn the bad guys in to the authorities" ending.

What about Michael Boatman’s performance did you like?

Good dialect work. Easy to listen to.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

We listen as we drive across country so we listen to one or two books in each direction from California to Illinois. We definitely wanted to return to the book when we were comfortably on our way.

Good story, well read by narrator.

_Devil in a Blue Dress_ receives five stars from me. The characters, the plot, the asides--are all great bits of literature, and I enjoyed it all.

This was an audiobook read by Michael Boatman. How about a wow for that guy! I love the voices he choose for the characters. They were rich in variety. His interpretation of the characters, and the narrator is excellent. I enjoyed his work and will buy a book narrated by him again.

The book. OK, I'm a late bloomer on Mosley, and that is my loss. The writing is great. I love the way he gave us background on Easy throughout the novel. The plot is not straight forward by not direct either. It moves as a mystery should. I also enjoyed how the novel starts out with one "mystery" and changes as the novel progresses. I loved how Easy isn't a detective at the beginning but kind of falls into.

Recommended: yes. I will be reading the next as well.

great novel, but WOW! performance!
