THE LONGEST AUTUMN

Using an ethereal voice and delicate intonation, Zura Johnson elevates this mystery loosely based on ancient Greco-Roman mythology into a captivating listening experience. Tirne, the herald for the god of Autumn, escorts him yearly from the godly to the human world. This time, the magical mirror used for the trip shatters. Tirne loses her exalted herald status, and the human world plunges into an extended, dangerous autumn. Desperate to regain her position, Tirne investigates the mirror's destruction, finding intrigue and betrayal. The lines between lovers, friends, and enemies blur as Tirne slowly discovers the truth. Johnson's vocal agility differentiates each character. Infusing male voices with a deep, earthy tone adds a sultry flair. A.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2024]
