VIRGIL TIBBS, BOOK 7

by John Ball ; Read by Dion Graham ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 2015

In this final Virgil Tibbs mystery, narrator Dion Graham succeeds in conveying the detective's acquired steady and measured countenance, which has grown throughout the years and the seven books. Graham handles a bevy of accents that include Australian, Chinese, Indian, and those of other Asian Singaporeans, as well as a reprise of the African former first lady, Madame Motamboru, who was introduced in THEN CAME VIOLENCE. As Tibbs speculates on both details of the crimes at hand and his undeniable love for Madame Motamboru, Graham gives his inner voice a slower pace that doesn't drag but invites listeners to consider their ramifications as well. As ever, Tibbs's speaking voice--whether he's conversing with other police or with locals--is respectful and self-assured. The conclusion to the series is as satisfying as that long ago first installment, IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT.

    WHEN THE LEGENDS DIE

    by Hal rland ; Read by Norman Dietz ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

    In this fascinating coming-of-age portrait, Thomas Black Bull's journey from the child, Bear's Brother, to the fearsome rodeo rider, Killer Tom Black, is painted with compassion and insight. Forced to learn the White Man's ways, Tom reaches adulthood consumed by rage. Read with great vigor by Norman Dietz, the recording bursts with the energy of rodeo circuit and transports the listener to the southwest. The accurate portrayal of Tom's Ute ancestry and way of life, the sorrow and frustration of losing his heritage, and his angry retaliation at the world make this an excellent listening choice for adults and teenagers. It would also be a wonderful addition to high school units on the Native American experience.

      RUBBER LEGS AND WHITE TAIL-HAIRS

      by Patrick F. McManus ; Read by George S. Irving ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

      George S. Irving adopts Patrick McManus's characters with gusto. Sit back and listen to yarn after yarn. Irving relishes each story, whether it's fishing stories, such as "Claw of the Sea-Puss" or "To Filet or Not to Filet," or the escapades with McManus's wary but vulnerable neighbors. Irving has the jocular chuckle down pat, and the low comedy satire comes off without a hitch. Listeners can imagine Irving tipping back a chair at the country store swapping lies with cronies and entertaining any comers with these hilarious tales. His repertoire of more than eight collections of McManus stories encourages this kind of ownership!
