The Devil in the Blue Dress by Walter Mosley
In May, Tracy Thomas chose Walter Mosley as a series starter on his podcast, The Stacks, where he hosts a monthly book club.
Tracy Thomas said of the nomination: “In May, we dive into the world of crime fiction with Walter Mosley’s debut novel, The Devil in the Blue Dress. Written in 1990, this mystery is the first in the award-winning Easy Rollins series. The book follows Rollins as he is tasked with finding a missing blonde woman in Los Angeles who has a habit of frequenting black jazz clubs. The book is as much a social commentary as it is a masterclass in mystery and suspense. That’s why it was named one of the “100 Best Mystery and Thriller Books of All Time” by Time Magazine. ”
Podcast Book Club Episodes: Kara Brown also joins Tracy Thomas to “…share her thoughts on the story’s twists and turns, especially the big reveal. We then dive deeper into discussing the importance of this book in the literary world and how it works and doesn’t work when seen through a modern lens.”
Adaptation: Denzel Washington, Don Cheadle, and Jennifer Beals starred in the 1995 film of the same name.
