Publisher's summary

When Cordell Carmel catches his longtime girlfriend with another man, the act he witnesses seems to dissolve all the boundaries he knows. He wants revenge but also something more. Killing Johnny Fry is the story of Cordell's dark, funny, soulful, and outrageously explicit sexual odyssey in search of a new way of life. It marks new territory for the best-selling author of Devil in a Blue Dress and countless other books; it will surprise, provoke, inspire, and make you blush. Above all it is about a man questioning the rules we take for granted - and the powerful and sometimes disturbing connections that occur between people when these rules are removed.

ok. not titillating.

I guess Walter Mosley's strength is not in erotica. I liked the story and the flaws of the characters. Overall, it was okay. I think the reason I didn't love this story is bc the narrator didn't appeal to me.

Kept my attention

I'm not sure if it's my device or the narrator but there were times it seemed to struggle through the readings. Regardless, I enjoyed this story and the twists. I would/have recommended it to a friend.

What A Story!

I didn’t quite know what I was getting myself into with this story but I am forever changed. I actually found this audiobook accidentally, I was looking for a murder mystery, I found that and so much more. I don’t want to give away too much but I must say this book was beautiful written and deliciously pornographic. If you’re on the dense, get this!

Long way from Easy Rawlins

I've been a Mosley fan for years. This was the rawest, most explicit piece I've ever listened too. I couldn't stop. Started hot and continued all the way through. I didn't listen to 50 shades of grey, but I can't imagine it was more captivating then this. Can't listen to this in the car ... headsets a must.
