Notable Narrators

Barbara Rosenblat
Rosenblat is one of today’s foremost female narrators compiling an impressive body of work over the past decade. Among the numerous titles she’s lent her talents are books by Elizabeth Peters, Diane Mott Davidson, Lisa Scottoline and Nevada Barr. A prominent reader of feminine sleuth mysteries like Peters’ Tomb of the Golden Bird and Davidson’s Dark Tort, she’s recently performed two award-winning titles: Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky and Amy Bloom’s Away.

Scott Brick
With nearly 100 titles to his credit, Scott Brick is no stranger to most fans of talking books. He narrated over 15 books by 15 different authors in 2006 alone. Authors he’s given 'voice' to have been heavily concentrated in the action/suspense genre--among them Harlan Coben and Dean Koontz--where his own unique energy effectively heightens reader interest. A versatile talent, his range of ability has helped him branch out into other works, both fiction and non-fiction alike. Some of his latest performances include Gregg Hurwitz's The Crime Writer, Steve Barry's The Venetian Betrayal and The Chase by Clive Cussler.

Simon Prebble
Prebble's accent epitomizes British aristocracy, a trait evidenced with each recording's docile manner and well-pitched inflection. His tone never fails to place proper emphasis on critical words and phrases, which is perhaps why so many audio mysteries and historical epics feature him. Authors he’s read include--but aren't excluded to--Susanna Clarke, Pat Barker, and A.S. Byatt. His non-fiction works, such as The First World War by John Keegan, are impressive also.
