After reading Blonde Faith, I felt the need to be tied to a chair, preventing me from racing to my nearest bookstore! I now want to get my hands on every copy of Easy Rawlins books. I must catch up and the thirst is real and actual.
Walter Mosley’s Easy Rawlins must be the man of my dreams. A dedicated and determined private eye, he faces a day in infamy. Not that his time is ever his own, here is a man that just wants to come home from work and relax for a minute.
Easy is trying to recover from losing the love of his life, Bonnie, who committed the unthinkable. It’s how Easy deals with this loss and the raw emotion the author conveys, that makes me yearn to learn all I can about a man who is anything but easy. He’s hired to find a man’s runaway daughter. Yet, Easy has a troubled relationship with his daughter Feather. This particular evening, Easy comes home to find that one of his closest friends has left his daughter Easter in their care. Her father would never leave Easter unless he was in danger himself. Now Easy is on a mission to find Christmas Black before others find him first. What he discovers along the way will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Walter Mosley is a master storyteller. I was routing for Easy Rawlins like I knew the man personally! I bonded with him as he struggled with his love for the women in his life. I melted as he tenderly handled those closest to him. I cringed as he met danger face on in rugged abandonment. Putting this book down wasn’t easy.
It is with blind faith that I will begin my collection of this author’s work. I found my favorite author of all time, after reading Blonde Faith!
