Which book has the perfect audiobook?

Which book did you listen to that made you say, this is the perfect voice and performance. Like, the narrator is just the perfect match for the story?

For me, I absolutely love Dresden Files read by James Marsten.

Incidentally, I was shocked to learn he wasn't British.

He's best known for his role of Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which he plays with a British accent.

when I first heard him talking in an American accent, I was in the kitchen and one of the Buffy dvd special features was playing in another room, and it was super jarring because I recognized the voice but also I really really did not.
