About the Narrators

Malachy McCourt (1931–2024) was born in Brooklyn, New York, but grew up in Limerick, Ireland. He returned to the United States at the age of twenty and worked at many odd jobs before turning to acting and writing. 

Jack O’Connell is the author of several acclaimed novels. He has been described as a cyberpunk Dashiell Hammett. His dark, noir-ish crime stories are dragging the crime genre into new realms. He lives in Wooster, Massachusetts, with his wife and two children.

Cassandra Campbell has won multiple Audie Awards, Earphones Awards, and the prestigious Odyssey Award for narration. She was been named a “Best Voice” by AudioFile magazine and in 2018 was inducted in Audible’s inaugural Narrator Hall of Fame.
