“Oh, no,” she said. “Never go to the police.”
Renee had no butt to speak of, though she moved like she did.
Some light-colored people felt that it was their duty to the future generation to marry somebody as light as they were—or lighter.
She was trying to help my friend as if she were some kind of liberal but her attitudes were straight out of the plantation.
“That’s some girl you sent me, Easy. LaMarque’s nose open so wide it’s like t’bust.”
“She just a girl.”“A girl who know where her pussy is.” Etta always spoke her mind. That’s one of the ten thousand reasons I loved her.
“Could you handle it?”
“Hell yeah. I been knowin’ where my pussy is so long it might be gettin’ time to move.”

Interesting storyline, but I wish it had more....meat. It was kind of hard to keep up with who was who and the point of all the killing.

I raced through this book, again an amazing end tying all the threads together, I love how characters we have met previously play a part in the newer books. The reveals are always hard to predict, I did find the main family a bit complicated maybe one too many characters, a fault of mine as I always struggle to keep track of names and relationships between characters.

Apart from [b:Devil in a Blue Dress|37100|Devil in a Blue Dress (Easy Rawlins, #1)|Walter Mosley|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1336545202l/37100._SY75_.jpg|1344080] all the books so far have been average at best and not nearly as good. There have been some similarities that Mosley keeps repeating from previous books but they don’t really add anything to the story or the main character himself. The plot feels messy with many new characters and troubles piling up which distracts the attention from the main goal that Easy is supposed to have. Halfway through the book I felt like we were wandering around the streets with no apparent direction in mind which made me lose interest.
4 books in and I’m starting to wonder if there’s a point in moving forward.
