A review by black_girl_reading
Blonde Faith by Walter Mosley

4.0

Set in the context of the recent Watts riots in LA, this mystery had all of the fun of a standard private dick story, with some critical race stuff thrown in for good measure. The women were flat as can be, which is also standard for the private eye trope, but I so valued the historical context and the honesty about being a black man in ‘67 i was willing to role with the more stale parts of the narrative and just enjoy the ride. I’ll listen to the whole series for sure, and def check out our Denzel in the DITBD movie as well.
