Historia
His name is etched on the door of his Manhattan office: LEONID McGILL , PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. It's a name that takes a little explaining, but he's used to it. Ex-boxer, hard drinker, in a business that trades mostly in cash and favors: McGill's an old-school P.I. working a city that's gotten fancy all around him. Fancy or not, he has always managed to get by - keep a roof over the head of his wife and kids, and still manage a little fun on the side - mostly because he's never been above taking a shady job for a quick buck.

Mosley presents distinct characters as they struggle to move through the world in each of these stories - heroes who are awkward, nerdy, self-defeating, self-involved, and, on the whole, odd. He overturns the stereotypes that corral black male characters and paints a subtle, powerful portrait of each of these unique individuals.

His bitterness, his homesickness over the loss of the house in Brooklyn that was given to him for his eighth birthday, and his feud with his harsh father, pulled him one way; his natural decency and his love for a sweet Italian girl, Nellie Petito, pulled him another.

Brilliant as Usual!
With "LYD" Walter Mosley is as brilliant as usual. Do yourself a favor and listen to this book. Then, buy the hardcover and put it on your coffee table for guests to enjoy. Even reading/listening to a few chapters is entertaining.
If you haven't already done so, be sure to listen to Mosley's "Fearless" series. There again are very good stories that will keep your ears wide open.

Missing Michael
Another great read from Mosley! I am so upset with myself for just discovering Easy, Mouse, EttraMae and this awesome series. I have to admit that I’m not crazy about him raising these other kids and not his own, that’s very sad and upsetting. Not Mouse?! The narrator did not do a good job at all. I gave him two stars because at least he’s Black. I’ve read Black detectives narrated by white actors and it was just awful! However, I really really missed Michael Boatman and he won’t be back until Book 9. It’s a little tough to get through the audios without him but I’m on to the next one!

Poor Little Dog is more like it
Yes, I would recommend the book but not this version of the audio. Unlike prior recordings, the narrator is just not believable. After listening to Michael Boatman for several recordings it was hard to listen to a new Easy Rawlins. I almost did not finish the book because of the disconnected rendition. His character voices are subpar and there are random musical interludes right in the middle of the narrative. The story is a good one, not Walter Mosley's best, but at least interesting. We lose an important character in this book and I am curious about how Mosley accounts for this loss in subsequent titles.

Four stars for the book, two for the reader :(
My first experience of this author and series I have heard so much about. The writing is, as "advertised", wonderful. Being a native Angelino I love hearing even the names of the streets evoked. That is why hearing them mispronounced - again and again - is really hard on the ears, esp. since "Easy" is supposed to be such a cool cat and an Angelino himself. (It's "La Ci-en-e-ga", not "La Ceenega") Sorry, but the narrator's voice itself is fine and deep and textured but, as some of these reviews point out, he sometimes reads like he's just learning how. It's weird. I almost had to ignore the reading to stay focused on the words. That's too much work for something you should get lost in. But those words! Mercy. I bought this book on a $9.98 sale and it was definitely worth it. The narrator is not sooooo bad that it ruins the experience; he's just awkward and I am cranky about details; and it is an awfully good book. I'm definitely in for every one of this series. I haven't even finished this one and I'm writing the review! If you're waffling, I'd say get it, but get others first if this one costs 30 bucks or whatever. Know what I mean?

Horrible Narrator
A poor narrator can ruin the story, and in this case Howard Weinberger ruined this book for me. He used one voice for every single character, so often I had to go back to figure out which character said which line. He did not bother to review words that he was not familiar with and stumbled over several words that were important. He actually pronounced the name Ortiz as Or-Tiz. I always assumed that when a recording is done of a book, the producers or whomever will make sure that it's done correctly and will make the purchaser feel like they received value for their purchase. An 11 year old would have done a better job at narrating this book.

Another good read
I love the way Walter Mosley waxes philosophical with his Easy Rawlins character. Easy has such a command on his world even in the confusion that is his life I really like his stories

I could have done a better job.
I like all of the Easy Rawlins Mystery books, and this one is not an exception. The issue I had with this book was Howard Weinberger. He was terrible! After listening to Micheal Boatman and all the characters he created in the ohter books, this was a terrible disappointment. I appreciate that it was not the book, but the reader that was the downfall of this title. I advise all to just skip this title on audio and pick up the book for yourself.

Buy the book instead
The book is great, but the narrator is awful. As noted in other reviews, it often seems that he's reading the book for the first time, and he stumbles over words, or uses the wrong inflection. There are occasional awkward pauses before the last few words of a sentence are spoken, almost as if the narrator was turning the page. I finally stopped listening and got the book instead.
