Three Junes is a vividly textured symphonic novel set on both sides of the Atlantic during three fateful summers in the lives of a Scottish family. Three Junes "almost threatens to burst with all the life it contains...extraordinary," says Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours.
Dagmar says:
"Beautiful Narration of a Wonderful Story!"
Today, we're looking at great audiobook listens for the hazy days of summer. First, Josephine talks to Jeffrey Deaver about his new Lincoln Rhyme mystery, The Cold Moon. If you want to trade the hot sun for some cool chills, then The Cold Moon is just the ticket. It is a roller coaster of a ride that pits the quadriplegic detective - along with his partner Amelia Sachs - against a brilliant serial killer known as the Watchmaker. Plus, much more.
