Then Came Violence Reviews
-
Pasadena detective Virgil Tibbs returns early from a holiday to discover everything in his home has been removed & only the head of the police department knows what's going on.
Author John Ball puts together another great novel where Tibbs becomes involved in three cases at once & despite the pressure he's under Tibbs remians his usual cool & calculating self.
Then Came Violence, like all of John Ball's Virgil Tibbs novels, is a well plotted crime story peopled with characters you can really belive in. I'm already looking forward to reading Singapore, his final novel featuring the legendary Virgil Tibbs. -
Time doesn't stand still in Virgil Tibbs' world, so we find out protagonist dealing with the changing political landscape of the late 70's - including the export of urban violence to the suburbs and an unstable geopolitical landscape - two unlikely storylines that meld well together. .

Not my favorite selection from the series, but it was still enjoyable.
