Blonde Faith by Walter Mosley

Easy Rawlins comes home from work one day to finds his friend’s daughter on his door step without so much as a note. Immediately, Easy knows that his friend Christmas Black is in deep trouble.

This is the start of the troubles for this detective as he finds out that another friend mouse is wanted by the police and his ex-lover has moved on to a new man.

How will he cope with all the personal drama in his life while trying to find out why Christmas Black has vanished of the face of the earth?

Although the genre of the book is described as a detective mystery, the writer spends more time on the main character’s personal dilemma’s then on the actual suspense and mystery of the case.

Verdict: If you want to know what goes on in the head of a detective then this is the book for you.
