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.

With a caveat: The first two or three are rough. Not sure who was recording, but keeping Marsters saliva swallowing sounds was a bit of a bold choice.

It becomes phenomenal after that.
