"Cinnamon Kiss" - Book Review

I've just finished reading Cinnamon Kiss by Walter Mosley, the 10th in the Easy Rawlins series. Here's my review.

REVIEW

Awesome ride! I’ve been an avid fan of Walter Mosley’s Easy Rawlins series ever since Devil in a Blue Dress. Hands down, Walter Mosley sure knows how to write a crime fiction novel that leaves you wanting more and more. This time, Easy is in dire need of cash and fast. After deciding against robbing an armored car, he gets a job solving a case involving an eccentric, prominent attorney and tracking down the beautiful ‘Cinnamon’ Cargill, who may hold the key to some unanswered questions. The case proves more complicated but after enlisting Mouse, Saul Lynx and others, Easy wonders if robbing the armored car would have been easier.

Gotta get Blonde Faith and Little Green in the Easy Rawlins series and Mosley’s other work of fiction, Debbie Doesn’t Do It Anymore. Keep ‘em coming!

So, if you're an avid reader and you're not on Goodreads, why aren't you? Check it out:
