I'd say most of the audiobooks I have listened to have a musical cue or the end of disc message. The ones without either are really annoying. I'm currently listening to Matchstick Men read by Stanely Tucci. I've already seen the movie, but it is a fun listen, especially if you like con artist capers. Parts of it remind me of Leverage because of that.

Rudyard Kipling at 23 hunts down Samuel Clemens.
You are a contemptible lot, over yonder. Some of you are Commissioners, and some Lieutenant-Governors, and some have the V.

Understand clearly that I do not despise you; indeed, I don’t. I am only very sorry for you, from the Viceroy downward. To soothe your envy and to prove that I still regard you as my equals, I will tell you all about it.
