About this listen

Walter Mosley's infamous Detective Easy Rawlins is back, with a new mystery to solve on the sun-soaked streets of Southern California.

Ezekiel "Easy" Porterhouse Rawlins is an unlicensed private investigator turned hard-boiled detective always willing to do what it takes to get things done in the racially charged, dark underbelly of Los Angeles.

But when Easy is approached by a shell-shocked Vietnam War veteran - a young White man who claims to have gotten into a fight protecting a White woman from a Black man - he knows he shouldn't take the case.

Though he sees nothing but trouble in the brooding ex-soldier's eyes, Easy, a vet himself, feels a kinship form between them. Easy embarks on an investigation that takes him from mountaintops to the desert, through South Central and into sex clubs and the homes of the fabulously wealthy, facing hippies, the mob, and old friends perhaps more dangerous than anyone else.

Set against the social and political upheaval of the late 1960s, Blood Grove is ultimately a story about survival, not only of the body but also the soul.

Widely hailed as "incomparable" (Chicago Tribune) and "dazzling" (Tampa Bay Times), Walter Mosley proves that he's at the top of his game in this bold return to the endlessly entertaining series that has kept fans on their toes for years.

Welp, I’m all caught up with Easy R, I have to wait for the next release and I can’t wait! Another great read and Michael Boatman is amazing! Fingers crossed Edna will be in the new book even if it’s a cameo appearance. Maybe he thinks he sees her or something. Idk, but would love to know what she’s up to and if she knows her who her father is.

Walter Mosley has written another smart, intelligent, and funny Easy Rawlings novel. Here is a character with a moral center, a man with many facets and insight into his behavior. A nice badass. The only thing missing is for Easy to fell madly in love and marry a good black woman. It happens and could happen to easy. A woman as interesting as Easy, with many facets who plays well with Easy and matches him in banter, wit, intellect, and life experience.

This well written story lived up to all my expectations. Thank you Walter Mosley. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next Easy Rawlings story.

Outstanding, makes me want to shout!
