Mosley's great when he isn't doing weird sci-fi style books, but the Rawlins books were always the best; the non-Rawlins books were fine but you just kept wanting Easy to be the main character. It's an author's curse: you get locked into a particular world, and everyone wants you do the same thing again and again with the same characters, even if you killed them off. I suspect the new books will fit in between the old ones, as Easy was getting up there, and Easy without kids gave the stories a lone-wolf aspect that got lost when he was fretting over whether Jesus would ever talk.

Interesting recent interview, here. I liked this:

That's from a guy who's written more than 30 books.
