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

"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." ( Publishers Weekly)

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.

Another Hit!

Loved it. Pay attention. Every detail is important. Great nod to Devil i/a Blue Dress. I'd love to see this on TV series!

Excellent as Usual!!!

Such an excellent read and to listen... Walter Mosely is an awesome poignant storyteller and writer!

Mr. Mosley, you have done it yet again!

I'm re-listening to this series in order and Mr. Boatman IS EZEKIEL RAWLINS. Well Done!

My man is alive!

Where does Little Green rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Walter Mosley thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing Easy back even if this is the final book. I was half in love with Easy Rawlings and afraid of Mouse! I never thought Bonnie would be back! This is among my top 10 books!

What other book might you compare Little Green to and why?

The late L.A. Banks wrote books that mesmerized me also. Larry Correira's Monster Hunter's books and Kim Harrison's Hollows series kept me fascinated!

Have you listened to any of Michael Boatman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I love his voice! He is fabulous. I know Walter Mosley has to be happy with this performance! All the books in the series! He was just as good as Denzel Washington in the movie!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

He came back from the dead! So happy he didn't die and his promise to tell Feather all about her mother was touching!

Any additional comments?

Walter Mosley you are a magnificent writer!

Authentic and Just what is needed in this genre

Mosely' work never disappoints. Set at a time where we were struggling with tough issues in our country, Mosely finds a way to make EZ Rawlings a detective everyone can relate to. The reader comes to appreciate his thinking and his strategic use of relationships to solves his cases. His relationship with a violent loveable felon - nick named Mouse- is an essential part of the story.
