BLOOD GROVE

Michael Boatman returns to narrate the 15th audiobook in Mosley’s Easy Rawlins series. Boatman masterfully voices the numerous characters from various races and backgrounds, male and female, young and old. Rawlins reluctantly takes on the case of a disturbed white Vietnam veteran who is convinced he stabbed a Black man. Rawlins’s persistence to uncover the truth leads him to dangerous places. Boatman’s performance of beautifully written moments of observation is captivating. Listeners will vicariously experience Easy’s confrontation with law enforcement, which he describes as “being the wrong color in the wrong place at the wrong time.” Series fans will appreciate the returning crew of quirky characters. Once again, Boatman partners with Mosley to provide a disturbing and important listening experience. E.Q.
