Reseñas de la Crítica

"Mosley's distinctive black investigator, Easy Rawlins, has moved from Watts to West L.A. with his two adopted children, but trouble still follows him. Hired to locate a sultry female acquaintance from his early days in Houston, Easy searches for her gambler brother and questions her Beverly Hills employer, unwittingly provoking racist police harassment. Meanwhile, friend Raymond ("Mouse") has been released from prison and vows revenge on the snitch who put him there. Mosley, as usual, describes a historically correct ethos in deft, literate prose." ( Library Journal)

Featured Article: These Noir Listens Will Take You to the Dark Side of Fiction


What do you love most in your mystery listens? Is it dark, moody settings and gritty storylines? Is it morally ambiguous main characters with complex inner lives? If so, noir is your kind of fiction. As a literary genre, noir can be difficult to nail down because so much of it is based on a general feeling of darkness and danger. Noir fiction was inspired by film noir, and film noir traces its roots to hard-boiled detective novels. Check out the world of noir fiction audiobooks.

Mr. Mosley is in my Top 10 authors of all times. None of his books are bad.

Great book! Love the narrator.

Black Betty in its own way is one of the best of the "Easy Rawlings" stories that I have read so far! Keeping its mix of late fifties and early sixties insight into the makeup of African American Culture "Black Betty" keeps you on the move and ends up surprising you in the end. I am starting to believe that there is only one sure thing with Easy Rawlins and that is that "Mouse" got to kill somebody!! Michael Boatman is again masterful in his presentation!

Easy Evolves!!!!

Ever wonder what it was like in post-war Los Angeles in the Black neighborhoods? Walter Mosley brings it to life in his Easy Rawlins series. Historical fiction, social commentary and hard-boiled detective fiction, these books invented a vivid new genre.

Mosley does it again.

I liked the few Easy Rawlins' audiobooks I have purchased including Black Betty especially after the defect in the audio was fixed.

A good listen!

I read a bunch hate before reading this episode in the life of Ezekiel Rawlins, so I was prepared to be disappointed. It was not so. The one disappointment was Mouse’s cardboard role. WM usually better shows the balance between Raymond Alexander’s sociopathy and his value as Easy’s best and oldest friend. In this one, any positive comments by Easy about his friend seemed wooden; Mouse is just plain gray killer impatient for Easy to point him to his next victim. Perhaps this story holds more sadness than others but it is a well woven and entertaining mystery. The predominant hate in reviews arises from those who don’t want to hear the true story of the black persons’s plight in 1960’s LA (and America). That a “colored” man could be gunned down by a cop for breathing the same air back then is a terrible but true thing. To not want to know about it reminds me of an ostrich.
Editorial: That said, there are many reasons to be proud of the current state of affairs in America, regardless of the fake cause that BLM and its ilk makes their money on today. I’d love to read a WM story with Juice Rawlins as a second gen. P.I. bumping up against the false narrative and failed policies of the liberal “plantation owners” of the current era (a detective Candace Owens,) since All Lives Matter in the 21st C.
