The author of 30 critically acclaimed works, Walter Mosley has had his novels translated into 23 languages.

The Tempest Tales, an Essence Book Club Recommended Read, features Tempest Landry, a black man shot down by an over-eager cop. But that's not the end of the line for Tempest. Unwilling to accept St. Peter's judgment that he spend eternity in Hell, Tempest is sent back to Harlem - guardian angel in tow - to make things right.

I had a great time listening to this modern tale of good vs evil. Mr. Mosley did a great job encapsulating this idea. Looking forward to listening to more novels from Walter Mosley.

Theology and philosophy usually aren't fun, but the gifted Walter Mosley found a way.

This is a lot of fun and also thought provoking. If you liked The Good Place, this is for you. If you questioned too much in Sunday school, this is also for you.

very fun

I think this should be a movie in the making. I was at the edge of my seat from beginning to end

great book

This author, his style of writing, and his story were completely unknown to me before Masterclass. (He’s incredible!) As a young Black woman who has focused on female authors of color, I missed out, and I don’t know how, but this was a treat. I will absolutely be reading more by Mr. Mosley.

I’m Sorry to this Man, but Where Have I BEEN!?!

Excellent, this book was so thought provoking. Things that are right can also be wrong. Question, what decides heaven and Hell

I enjoyed this tale between good and evil so much, that I listened to it in one sitting! It needs to be a movie. Mr Mosley grasps of black dialect is honest and respectful. The concept is intriguing. Thank you Walter Mosley!
