MISS SUBWAYS

David Duchovny ("The X-Files") narrates his third novel with a little help from his family. His writing chops--he has an M.A. in English literature from Yale--are apparent as he weaves ancient Irish myth and literary references into a modern-day New York City-based fantasy/romance. Emer's longtime boyfriend, Con, is marked for death by higher powers. But Emer is allowed to save his life by agreeing to forever remain separated from him. The pair doesn't remember their prior love, but their paths keep crossing nonetheless. Duchovny is relaxed and confident, never overdoing things and focusing on his characters. His ex-wife, Téa Leoni, sounds like she's having a blast reading Emer's dialogue, and the featured voices of their two kids round out this audiobook's loose, easygoing charm.
