And the second book of Easy Rawlin's return.

Both are pretty good. The break Mosley took from the character seems to rejuvenated him.

And that other one about a brother that wins the lottery and comes home to find some kind of stick alien in his apartment, forgot the name of that one. ..

I made a post once saying that Walter Mosley's work beyond the Easy Mysteries was junk and got ripped a new one,lol.
I still stand by that apart from the Last Days of Ptolemy Grey, which was great.

I can't get into his sci-fi stuff, but then again I'm not a huge sci-fi lit fan.

They were really. And actually got better as the series progressed.

He said in an interview once that he was developing a TV series based on Fearless Jones for TNT, and that if it panned out, he'd right more novels. That was a few years ago, and since then, nothing.

Ah well, at Fearless gets a shout out/mention in "Rose Gold."

Solid read .
Mouse is around but not central to the story.
I wonder if at some point his ex-wife and daughter will make an appearance.

I was actually surprised they were even mentioned. I honestly can't remember if Easy has said anything about them in any of the other books since she left.

Every other book they get mentioned and I assume it still fucks with Easy behind the scenes
