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.
The Main character is a school custodian named Easy.
Throw in a couple of dead bodies,a rascally yellow dog and a sexy teacher and you get a bawdy,colorful book!I loved it!
This is NOT your run of the mill detective story at all,by no means!! You will enjoy this book!
If you love Walter Mosley, you will love this book. Always a good read
Great mystery. Part of the sequel.
Wonderful tale of L.A. post WWII in the Black community.
"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!)

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.
