RARA-AVIS: _Devil in a Blue Dress_

Sun, 5 Apr 1998 22:00:43 -0400 (EDT) So, does anyone have any comments on _Devil In a Blue Dress_? I'm
about 2/3 of the way through, and I like it. I don't think that
Mosley is the greatest (hardboiled) mystery writer of the decade,
which some people think, but he's certainly good. I'm going to try
one of his later non-Easy books soon and see how that is. I know
Mario really like Mosley, and Mario's recommendations have never been
wrong for me.

One of the most interesting things about the book, to me, is the
depiction of life for a black man in the States back then. I haven't
read much about that, and although I knew the basics, this brought it
to life.
