If he's ever going to escape the misery of life in Houston's Fifth Ward, he needs to improve himself, a theme which carries forward throughout the books. The characterization is rich, the dialogue ringing true to the speakers. The bonus for fans of this series is to learn more about the beginnings of two of mystery's most intriguing characters and to see a younger, more carefree Easy.
