Typical of all of Walter Mosley's Easy Rawlins mysteries, A Little Yellow Dog is well-written, exhaustively researched, and thoroughly enjoyable. Mr. Mosley is a wordsmith and craftsman and I don't think he is capable of writing a bad Easy Rawlins story.

I love Walter Mosley mysteries and look forward to each new Easy Rawlin's book that comes out. If you have never read Mosley's books, you have to try this one.

I like all of Walter Mosley's stuff. Easy Rawlins in a great character. Alternately gritty and hapless, with his conscienceless sidekick Mouse, he is a guy you can both admire and feel sympathy for.
Not my style. Don't like mystery's, didn't finish. The writing style is black slang, hard to read.
Great mystery. Part of the sequel.
Novenber 1963: Easy's settled into a steady gig as a school custodian. It's a simple quiet existence-but a few moments of ecstasy with a sexy teacher will change all that.
"Mosley's mysteries take us to places in black culture where few white readers have been". A great read! (And the little yellow dog seems to love everyone except Easy!)
If you love Walter Mosley, you will love this book. Always a good read
An Easy Rawlins mystery by one of the great contemporary mystery writers.

Walter Mosley is such an excellent mystery writer. Each book is as good as if not better than the one before, and surely this one is satisfying and holds your interest right through to the end. It is not surprising that Mosley was one of President Clinton's favorite authors. A completely enjoyable read.
Wonderful tale of L.A. post WWII in the Black community.
