Trouble Is What I Do | Walter Mosley
18 posts | 10 read | 5 to read
From innovative bestselling novelist Walter Mosley comes the return of the beloved Leonid McGill detective series featuring a morally ambiguous P.I. who solves crimes and whose victims are society's most downtrodden.Leonid McGill's spent a lifetime building up his reputation in the New York investigative scene. His seemingly infallible instinct and inside knowledge of the crime world make him the ideal man to help when Phillip Worry comes knocking. Phillip "Catfish" Worry is a 92-year-old Mississippi bluesman who needs Leonid's help with a simple task: deliver a letter revealing the black lineage of a wealthy heiress and her corrupt father. Unsurprisingly, the opportunity to do a simple favor while shocking the prevailing elite is too much for Leonid to resist. But when a famed and feared assassin puts a hit on Catfish, Leonid has no choice but to confront the ghost of his own felonious past. Working to protect his client, and his own family, Leonid must reach the heiress on the eve of her wedding before her powerful father kills those who hold their family's secret. Joined by a team of young and tough aspiring investigators, Leonid must gain the trust of wary socialites, outsmart vengeful thugs, and, above all, serve the truth-- no matter the cost.

Cold Weather Box Spin!!! I haven‘t heard of this author before — but willing to try this book. It‘s 155 pages 🤷🏾‍♀️ so this will be a quick read and fast review.

Nice little treat with my book. But I was so focused on the treat and forgot the book. Lol this will be a quick read. I found it while B&N was closing over the holidays🖤 let‘s hope the book is as good as this. #caligirl #tajin #fruit #spicysaturday

Such a gorgeous cool cover! Leonid McGill, outsider detective, in a case where he must deliver a letter containing an explosive secret. He‘s got killers on his trail and a client to protect. Prime Mosley, entertaining fast read.

Ernie was known in some circles as the Mississippi Assassin- and that was not the name of a professional wrestler.

This book is continuation of the Leonid McGill series. Waited five years for its release and I am looking forward to where he is taking the series. The story line is about a guy that did bad and is trying to correct some of those mistakes. He is all too human but he is trying.

I love the book but felt for a five year wait it was too short. If you know Ms. Mosley past on my disappointment in the length not the quality of the story. Gone were the babies but he add a new partner.

Walter Mosley never lets me down. This was an interesting story dealing a black person passing as white. The drama is when and how it becomes known. My first #ReadYourSign

This was my first Walter Mosley book and it was wonderful, I loved the flow and straight forwardness of his writing and how he didn't mince words or use more then he needed to get the story put together. This is a well done story,

1.) I like to run, I have started training for the Denver 5K.
2.) Introvert most of the time. :) Extrovert on the rare blue moon. Though after all this Stay at home stuff I may be Extroverted for a LONG time!
3.) I have read as of today 10 books. Maybe even 11 if I get the tagged book read in time. Woot!

A very quick Leonid McGill case with a few other cases thrown in. At only 160pgs and half sized hardback, this little adventure was quick, to the point, and once again race was present. Mobsters, old rivalries, and a simple deliver of a letter is at the heart of this book. I‘ve only read book 2 and this one and had zero issues as Mosely catches you up when needed with a quick paragraph or two. It will only take a few hours to get through.

MrBook Nice review! 4y

You know what‘s awesome? Walking into a Barnes and Noble and a random person says- “There is $5 left on this gift card and it has to be used today, do you want it?”
I got the new Walter Mosley even though it is the 7th in the series, of which I‘ve read none, because I love most of Mosley‘s books, but I‘ve never paid full price for one. I always did library sales or on sale e-books. I figured I owed him a new book buy because I am a fan.

Tamra Very anxious to read Mercies! 4y
