"I stumbled on this before knowing about Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins series. Not outstanding as literature, but very enjoyable, any mystery fan should savor it. In today's entertainment climate, it's nice to see a black hero who is both smart and good, good in the old sense of committed to doing the right thing for his fellow man. His day job as a janitor in a Junior High says tons about the culture we hopefully have left behind."
"This is my second time reading "Six Easy Pieces." I felt a little bit lost the first time because I had read this out of order. So I suggest you read "The Little Yellow Dog" before S.E.P. if you are a fan of the series. If not, well, this book does hold it's own. Six easy Pieces is a collection of short stories. They follow along sequentially but each story begins by filling you in with as much of the back story as you will need to proceed. That back story is the climax of "The Little Yellow Dog." So if you want to avoid spoilers....
"Six Easy Pieces" is one of the better books in the series. I loved the short story format. I love the sense of time and place Mosley imparts. This is not the same time period as in his earliest books so we are meeting a slightly different Easy Rawlins. He is maturing and redefining himself. As for the mysteries, they are just commas in this process of self-inspection.
I also found more of the supporting characters sympathetic. In Easy's mellowing, the milieu he finds himself in is less sharply adversarial. Never-the-less, Easy still finds himself negotiating with the denizens of the "street". The sordid lives of other still seek him out for closure. Sweet or sour Easy delivers."
