Praise for Walter Mosley and And Sometimes I Wonder About You

"Exhilarating. . . . Vivid characters and bracing, rat-a-tat prose." --The Seattle Times

"Why the devotion? To begin with, McGill is one of the most humane (and likable) P.I.s in the business. . . . With Mosley, there's always the surprise factor--a cutting image or a bracing line of dialogue." --The New York Times Book Review

"Like the city he works in, and the Mosley books he inhabits, Leonid McGill is complicated, savvy, and full of surprises: a would-be champ who can't win for losing, a fighter who can never be counted out." --The Wall Street Journal

"The crime novels of Walter Mosley are first and foremost crackling good stories, full of mystery, suspense, and prose like good soul food: hearty, stick-to-your-ribs sentences with a spicy aftertaste." --The Washington Post

"If you didn't know any better, you'd think it was Mosley, not McGill, who's the former boxer--the way he bobs and weaves from chapter to chapter, sidestepping deadly blows and delivering his own devastating combinations. . . . There's no one who can touch him." --The Toledo Blade

"Outstanding. . . . Mosley's sharp ear for dialogue and talent for sketching memorable characters are much in evidence in this installment, further deepening his complex lead." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Delivered with Mosley's celebrated poetic style and genius for wrapping fascinating, quirky characters in complex cons. . . . [This] series deserves serious attention from all fans of mainstream hard-boiled detective fiction." --Booklist (starred review)

"When it comes to great books, here's an easy rule of thumb: Never miss Mosley. . . . Leonid McGill should be appreciated." --BookPage

"No-one alive writes like Mosley. He is a multi-talented man of letters, but is unique in that he weaves poetry into every page. . . . This is Mosley at his best, with not one word wasted, and a story which will leave you with much to think about." --Crime Fiction Lover
