stonepicnicking_okapiToday the second book in KJ Charles' Will Darling series, The Sugared Game, comes out. I don't know how long I'm going to withstand the temptation of getting it, but I thought I would recommend the audiobook version of Book 1 [Slippery Creatures] by Cornell Collins. I really liked Collins' voice on another KJ Charles' book Band Sinister. He is able to say 'How's the debauching going?' and not only not sound like a total prat but sound very good, indeed. He also narrated the whole of the Charm of Magpies series but I don't have access to that.
I also managed to listen to Vikas Adam narrate KJ Charles' Unfit to Print and enjoyed it immensely. Indian voices for Indian characters, yes.
I did not finish a couple of audiobooks, though. Mexican Gothic by Frankie Corzo. [rich socialite protagonist put me off] and The Circular Staircase by Mary Roberts Rinehart, narrated by Rebecca Burns [American female voices are hard for me to swallow sometimes].

I have never listened to any professional audiobooks in English before, actually. Sounds like the ones you mention would be a good place to start!

He does so well with so many different voices and you never wonder who's talking despite all the characters (sometimes talking at once). And he really does make deflowering a virgin sound intimate and nice.
I like British voices (most of them, well, anyone who'd likely to be given a job narrating an audiobook). Irish voices, too. Andrew Scott reading Joyce's The Dubliners has done things to my psyche and actually given me weird penis and Holy Communion dreams. I am a sensitive plant :)
