"Its not a long read but it is entertaining. I find it best to read it all the way through. Every now and again he has flashbacks to explain how or why he knows people. So thw universe feels lived in not just "thats my friend from the army" it would be a short backstory on why this friend from the army is there. Walter mosley did a good job with this one"
