A book with 2/3 narrators that have drastically different voices.
I’m working on a story that switches between two narrators, both of whom are narrating in first-persson. I’m looking for books that do a good job with switching between two very different voices.
The Chalk Man with Asa Butterfield and Andrew Scott.

I do mostly sci-fi/fantasy/romance, so my suggestions will be from that perspective.
Robin Hobb does this a lot (Farseer series). Ilona Andrews might be another good example, except the switched perspective is pretty rare (Kate Daniels, Innkeeper Chronicles, Hidden Legacy). Rebekah Weatherspoon rocked this in *Haven*. Lois McMaster Bujold does a great job switching between narratives (Vorkosigan Saga, The Sharing Knife). NK Jemison is also a good author to look at. Kresley Cole (Immortals After Dark) always does at least two perspectives, but some books she does three or four.

Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh. Has a few narrators and all very different voices. Takes a few pages to get used to the Scottish dialect.
