Yes! Covey and JayJay Are Back – My Audio Book Review
Yes! Yes! Covey and JayJay are back. And I am so thankful for their return is this killer third book by Shelton Williams.
Covey Jencks and JayJay’s adventures continue in The Chinese Murder of Edward Watts. Immersive from the beginning page, Williams takes readers in this third book on a winding ride that never stops from China to West Texas. From a current murder of an oilman to a historical story about a teenage girl getting killed decades earlier the story is fantabulous. What I have always liked about Shelton’s writing is his talent for including authentic historical perspectives.
The narrator, Dave Clark, nailed The Chinese Murder of Edward Watts narration with his somber voice that relates the story quite well even during the character changes. Clark brought the characters and story to life with perfection. His vocal distinctions were seamless among all the characters. His pacing was impeccable. Overall, the sound quality was superb. Clark’s voice made my work traveling miles quite enjoyable.
Covey and JayJay’s stories always surround a mystery with a murder or two that they try ending up solving. Covey continues with his role as a lawyer who has been hired by an oilman who has a deep dark secret to oversee a contract deal with China.
William’s writing is immensely improved in telling the third story of Covey and JayJay. While this story could be a stand-alone book, the story is so much better having read the other two books in this series. I highly recommend this mystery series by Shelton. Maybe you’ll fall in love with the main characters like I did.

Covey Jencks – https://forgottenwinds.com/2018/12/06/covey-jencks-my-audio-book-review/
International Studies and he taught for nearly 40 years at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. He has served in the US Government on four occasions, and he has written books and articles on nuclear proliferation. In 2004 he began a new career of writing books on crime and society. Those books are Washed in the Blood, Summer of 66, and now the three books in the Covey Jencks series. All firmly prove that he is still a Texan at heart.
