Currently Reading: Six Easy Pieces

I pulled this collection of mysteries off the shelf this morning, I was looking for something different to read. I have never read anything by Walter Mosley before but as a fan of mysteries I try to read a variety of stories. I can't wait to start reading this.

Book: Six Easy Pieces (Easy Rawlins book #8) by Walter Mosley

Edition: Hardcover

Description:

Easy should be living a contented life, with steady work as senior head custodian of Sojourner Truth High School, and a loving family. But happiness is as elusive for Easy as smoke in shadows. Easy's the man folks seek out when they can't take their problems to anyone else. Trading favors and investigating cases of arson, murder, missing persons, and false accusations, it's hard to steer clear of trouble.

A Bomb is set in the high school where Easy works. A man's daughter runs off with his employee. A beautiful woman turns up dead and the man who loved her is wrongly accused.

Six of the seven stories in Six Easy Pieces were published in reissued Washington Square Press editions of the Easy Rawlins mysteries Gone Fishin', Devil in a Blue Dress, A Red Death, White Butterfly, Black Betty and A Little Yellow Dog. A seventh, "Amber Gate," is newly published here, making this new Walter Mosley classic a must have for all fans of great fiction.
