Leonid knows his wife is seeing another man, but it seems to be improving her self image. His dad quoted him communist manifesto instead of reading him bedtime stories in the relatively few years he was around.

It wouldn't make sense for Easy to move back East a. By using our website you agree to our use of these cookies.

And as for work? Which is only the beginning of his problems, as his youngest son is also plotting a murder. When the Thrill is Gone was my first book by this author even though it is the third in his series about PI Leonid McGill.

It seemed like he tried to wrap up the whole book really quickly at the end and that really didnt work for me. But love & hate & fear cause time to snag you, to drag you down like a spider's web holding fast to a doomed fly's wings. Lately, he is getting job offers only from the criminals he's worked so hard to leave behind. Case in point: he’s broken up with his girlfriend in order to be better to his wife.

Walter Mosley’s Leonid McGill books are different than the standard issue PI fare.

There were also at least 2-3 sub-plots involving his kids, another detective assignment, people at the gym, etc. So there’s a second book, which means spoiler: McGill lived–yay! All rights reserved (About Us). Apr 2004 – Present 16 years 5 months. This did not happen in this book.

Walter Mosley is a wonderfully descriptive writer. Everyone recruited him at wide receiver, which is where he plays for us, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he played some secondary at the next level as well.
