Cinnamon Kiss
Easy Rawlins Mystery
by Walter Mosley
Read by Michael Boatman
Cinnamon Kiss takes readers on another Easy Rawlins Road Trip.
It's the Vietnam era and Easy Rawlins's personal obligations take over. He's working
at a school. In past installments, Easy took in two youngsters whom he now considers his
son and daughter.
His daughter, Feather, is ill. It's going to take a special trip and thousands of dollars
to save her life. Easy and one of his oldest pals, Mouse, make plans to commit a robbery.
Easy sees stealing to save a life as morally acceptable. Lucky for his daughter, a PI
job comes up and Easy chooses to do what he knows best, hunt down a missing person. Easy
heads to San Francisco, a center of hippy happenings, to find a woman named Cinnamon.
The reason for wanting her is eventually made clear, although somewhat flawed. Still it's
a gritty, intense ride and typical Mosley.
Actor Michael Boatman narrates this edition. His reading matches the intensity of
Mosley's writing. Remember your earphones with this one; the language is strong. |
