Book 29: Devil in a Blue Dress by Walter Mosley

[moonshadow]

I deeply enjoyed this noir mystery by Walter Mosley. It never occurred to me before, but given that noir typically portrays a bleak and unjust world, it is a perfect place to talk about racism and other forms of oppression. I enjoyed Mosley's language and I also found his main character Easy very relatable.

TW- This books contains a great deal of violence, including sexual assautl.

I'm planning to take a look at the movie as well, featuring Danzel Washington - I've heard it's excellent!
