Why read it?
1 author picked A Red Death as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I like reading Mosley’s mystery novels because they are about people overcoming extreme difficulties, and this book is one of his best. I couldn’t put it down.
The main character is an African-American private detective working in Los Angeles in the 1950s and 1960s, and Mosley paints a realistic picture of LA during that time. There are always a few women in distress and white policemen who don’t like the black detective and constantly make his efforts more difficult.
From Art's list on historical fiction heroes overcoming challenges.
