After too many dates, thirtysomething Mimi Perkins is still single, unmoored, and longing for love. So when Ren Yardley—a handsome, divorced fellow drama teacher and single father—falls in love with her and proposes, she’s sure this is at last the good news her psychic predicted.

Histoire
It's 1942, and as far as her father knows, Evelyn Bishop, heiress to an aeronautics fortune, is working as a translator in London. In truth, Evelyn—daring, beautiful, and as adept with a rifle as she is in five languages—has joined the Office of Strategic Services as a spy. Her goal is personal: to find her brother, who is being held as a POW in a Nazi labor camp. Through one high-risk mission after another, she is paired with the reckless and rebellious Nick Gallagher, growing ever close to him until the war's end brings with it an act of deep betrayal.

Histoire
Former Super Bowl MVP quarterback Zach Bridger hasn’t seen his ex-wife, Rebecca Pratt, for some time—not since their volatile marriage imploded—so he’s shocked to receive a life-altering call about her. Rebecca has been placed on life support after a violent assault, and he—despite their divorce—has medical power-of-attorney. Zach is asked to make an impossible choice: keep her on life support or take her off of it. Buckling under the weight of the responsibility and the glare of public scrutiny, Zach ultimately walks away, letting Rebecca's parents have the final say.

Histoire
Tech millionaire Miles Cookson has more money than he can ever spend and everything he could dream of - except time. He has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and there is a 50 percent chance that it can be passed on to the next generation. For Miles, this means taking a long hard look at his past. Two decades ago, a young, struggling Miles was a sperm donor. Somewhere out there, he has kids - nine of them. And they might be about to inherit both the good and the bad from him - maybe his fortune, or maybe something much worse.

Distracting Hard-boiled Detective Story
'Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins' is a struggling black WWII veteran in the late 1940s with connections to minor players in the Los Angeles criminal underground. Essentially out of desperation, he agrees to help find a missing 'Miss Daphne Monet'.. kickstarting a career as a semi-amateur Private Eye.
Author Walter Mosely provides a startlingly realistic look at palpably gritty postwar urban negro life - a unique 'Noir' reality for use in in detective fiction (the setting is intriguing). Unfortunately, the plot itself - various crooks double-crossing each other - is uninteresting.. and Moseley's focus on the hopeless mundanity of his characters' reality (jobless, alcoholic, promiscuous, hassled by racist neighbors/cops) render the "mystery" a mere sideline, anyway. This book reads more like 'Historical Fiction' than a 'Private Investigator' story.
On the positive side, the narration from TV/Film actor Michael Boatman is outstanding. True, some of his voice-acting is questionable (his performance is certainly imperfect), but Boatman's reading is emotive and professional.. well above average.
Altogether, this book merits a disappointing 5 stars out of 10. If you can get it as a 'Plus' selection, it's a reasonable recording to play in the background while you go about your business.. but spending a Credit on it would be debatable.

good
I listened to this one as part of my effort to read through a 50 Essential Mystery list. The narration was very good, for the record. As was everything else. I loved the writing style, the characters were well developed, and what a great, hard-boiled plot.
There've been a few books I've read recently that felt like work, even if I did like them. This was not work. It was an enjoyable read.
I'll keep an eye out for more books in the series.

Very much worth the listen
This is a very good story. The writing put me in the thick of things and made the story thoroughly enjoyable. Not quite sure why, but this is my first book by Walter Mosley and it will definitely not be the last. I can't wait to immerse myself in the next book in the series, 'The Red Death'.
The narration by Michael Boatman is excellent.

A Seminal Work, a Great Performance!
Mosely's introduction of Easy Rawlins spins the classic noir in a great new direction, splitting the difference between Hammett and Ellroy. Michael Boatman delivers a fantastic reading. You can _feel_ this one.
