The Levee was narrated by JD Jackson and written by author William Kent Krueger. I was drawn to this historical fiction, which takes place in 1927.

The Hopkins Manuscript by R. C. Sherriff is a classic novel originally published in 1939. I grabbed this end of days audiobook in part because of narrator Nicholas Boulton.
