Little Green

An Easy Rawlins Mystery

De: Walter Mosley

Narrado por: Michael Boatman

When Walter Mosley burst onto the literary scene in 1990 with his first Easy Rawlins mystery, Devil in a Blue Dress—a combustible mixture of Raymond Chandler and Richard Wright—he captured the attention of hundreds of thousands of readers (including future president Bill Clinton). Eleven books later, Easy Rawlins is one of the few private eyes in contemporary crime fiction who can be called iconic and immortal. In the incendiary and fast-paced Little Green, he returns from the brink of death to investigate the dark side of L.A.’s 1960s hippie haven, the Sunset Strip.

We last saw Easy in 2007’s Blonde Faith, fighting for his life after his car plunges over a cliff. True to form, the tough WWII veteran survives, and soon his murderous sidekick Mouse has him back cruising the mean streets of L.A., in all their psychedelic 1967 glory, to look for a young black man, Evander “Little Green” Noon, who disappeared during an acid trip. Fueled by an elixir called Gator’s Blood, brewed by the conjure woman Mama Jo, Easy experiences a physical, spiritual, and emotional resurrection, but peace and love soon give way to murder and mayhem. Written with Mosley’s signature grit and panache, this engrossing and atmospheric mystery is not only a trip back in time, it is also a tough-minded exploration of good and evil, and of the power of guilt and redemption. Once again, Easy asserts his reign over the City of (Fallen) Angels.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Advance Praise for LITTLE GREEN:

“In 2007’s Blonde Faith, set in 1967, Easy Rawlins drove drunkenly off a cliff in what his creator indicated was likely his last appearance. Now, after two months of sliding in and out of consciousness, Easy begins the long journey back to the living, in Mosley’s superb 12th mystery featuring his iconic sleuth…. If there were an Edgar for best comeback player, Easy Rawlins would be a shoo-in.”

Walter Mosley Great As Always

Michael Boatman does a great job as well.
Easy Rawlins series is always a good read.

Welcome Back Easy Rawlins

really enjoyed this story. it's everything I expected from Walter Mosely. one of my favorites.

good writing

as usual Walter Mosley Have A Lot Of Things Going On With The Character Easy At The End It All Comes Together At The Right Time...

Easy is my main man!

Back from the dead and back with his woman, Mosley has done it again, Easy Rawlings provers that life is full of ifs and buts. I'm taking my audio journey through Mr. Rawlings's world and it's WONDERFUL. My only issue is that I'll be finished with the last two books in the series before Mosley publishes again. What will I do while I wait for Easy? Oh well, I guess it's time to dive into some of Mosleys science fiction. Again, hats off, great job.

STILL one of my FAVORITES!!!!

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

I began reading Walter Mosley as a teenager and STILL find him to be one of the BEST to ever DO IT!!! Little Green by far is my favorite in the series. I would have given the performance 5 stars had the narration been performed by Denzel Washington just as I would have liked to hear Jill Scott on the #1 Ladies' Detective Agency....in a perfect world I guess.
