From the back cover
“Surviving a crash landing on our planet, a stranded alien seeks refuge in the small town of Patience, USA, where he hides undercover as a semiretired doctor. Masking his appearance using his unique mental abilities and now known as Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, all the alien wants is to be left alone until he’s rescued. However, when the town’s real doctor dies. ‘Dr. Harry’ is pulled into medical service─and also finds himself smack dab in the middle of a murder mystery!”
Review
Welcome is a fun, intriguing, short and character-interesting read, with a solid murder mystery element thrown into the mix. The artwork is pleasing to the eye, not too busy with unnecessary details, reflecting the quiet, (relative to cities) simplicity of small-town life, and the quick flashbacks and ending promise more interesting Vandespeigle-centered stories. Followed by Resident Alien: The Suicide Blonde.
