Devil in a Blue Dress
Walter Mosley, 1990, Pocket Books
I enjoy the hard-boiled noir genre, and am a sucker for a good Raymond Chandler novel, even if I often have trouble navigating the exact twists and turns of the plots. Devil in a Blue Dress not only fits the genre, but also manages to keep me confused as to exactly who is who and what it is they’re up to. It’s a fun read, that shares not only the feel of a Chandler novel, but Chandler’s exuberant use of the language.
