Book Reviews of Little Scarlet: An Easy Rawlins Novel
Book Review: A slice of history wraped in a mystery
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed Walter Mosley's writing over the years especially because he is a blackman writing about black characters, unlike James Patterson and his Alex Cross novels. In this edition during the last days of the Watts riots, a black woman named Little Scarlet, is found murdered in her apartment, a building that a white man entered after escaping a mob of rioters. Did this man commit the murder? Rawlin's is soon on the case. As in past novels the mystery is a way for the reader to look into an earlier time, in this case the late 1960's. Through Rawlin's eyes the reader experinces the conflicting feelings of the black investigator toward the riots: great sadness for the loss of life, but also understanding the anger that caused the riots in the first place. In all this is a good mystery wrapped up in a slice of history.
