Cinnamon Kiss

A Novel

De: Walter Mosley

Narrado por: Michael Boatman

New York Times best seller Walter Mosley's sizzling new novel pits Easy Rawlins against his greatest challenge ever, a terrifying murder during the Summer of Love. It is the Summer of Love as Cinnamon Kiss opens, and Easy Rawlins is contemplating robbing an armored car. It's farther outside the law than Easy has ever traveled, but his daughter, Feather, needs a medical treatment that costs far more than Easy can earn or borrow in time. And his friend Mouse tells him it's a cinch. Then another friend, Saul Lynx, offers a job that might solve Easy's problem without jail time. He has to track the disappearance of an eccentric prominent attorney. His assistant of sorts, the beautiful "Cinnamon" Cargill, is gone as well. Easy can tell there is much more than he is being told; Robert Lee, his new employer, is as suspect as the man who disappeared. But his need overcomes all concerns, and he plunges into unfamiliar territory, from the newfound hippie enclaves to a vicious plot that stretches back to the battlefields of Europe.©2005 Walter Mosley (P)2005 Time Warner AudioBooks

Reseñas de la Crítica

• 2005 Publishers Weekly Listen Up Award, Mystery/Thriller

"As ever, Mosley is able to capture the era, hippies, Watts, communes, in brief strokes that provide a brilliant background to Easy's search for solutions to both a convoluted mystery and complex personal problems." (Publishers Weekly)

Another Great Easy Rawlins Mystery

Cinnamon Kiss delivered everything I expected from an Easy Rawlins novel: vivid characters, sense of time and place, well-paced story.

One of the pleasures of this series is experiencing Easy's evolution as a man -- seeing the times (1960s in this story) through his eyes, watching him change as he grows older.

Michael Boatman delivers an excellent performance. He varies his voice for each character, his pace is natural, and his voice is pleasing.

Riveting!

Want a great mystery?

Loved it. Couldn't wait to get to the end to see who did the killings

Music is horrible

I loved the story, great book but the music was horrible, I had to laugh at times because it really didn’t go with the story at all.

Good story and narration, annoying music

Another excellent Easy Rawlins detective story. I loved the narration, Michael Boatman is excellent. The music was jarring and often inappropriate, the novel would have been greatly improved without the music.

Cinnamon Kiss

Walter Moseley never disappoints and I can’t say enough how much I enjoy Michael Boatman’s voice on narration.

Mosley does it again

This read has its usual non-stop suspense, colorful characters and intriguing style. Loved it! A great listen.

Easy Rawlins is way cool

Walter Mosley's detective is one likeable and respectable guy. He reminds you occasionally of what it is like to live with racism (hard for some of us to imagine.) His respect for characters with education, intelligence, and class is laudable in an age where our younger generation glorifies "gansta" culture. Knowing the world will not soon be color blind he describes the hues of the skin of every charachter he meets is a detailed and almost reverential way. Each tone, from very dark to very light, is a blessing not a curse.
The story is compelling as Mosely's detective searches the underbellies and skyscapers of the late 1960's LA and San Francisco in a desperate search to earn money to save his daughter's life by solving his case. It is very suspenseful towards the end. (P.S. - I have to except Rawlin's respect for Raymond "mouse" as a "master criminal" because as a private detective you can't realisticly work without underworld connections.) Great narration! The narrator has the cool easy but sensible and respectful tone of Rawlin's character himself.

Great Read

I really end this. I love Eazy Rollins. I going to read them all. The entire series.
