Xavier’s Tears

I wasn’t all that impressed with the virtual voice narration of this story - it was too flat and often lacked emotion. I really enjoyed the storyline though. Once again Mr Covert has set his story, albeit minimally, in the very familiar surroundings of the Lower Willamette Valley & Santiam Canyon areas. The story had good flow with some interesting plot twists and very strong characters. I look forward to reading book 4 of this series! Not a bad job for a financial planner turned author! I look forward to other works from him!
