Sadly, it's a Korean one: Yi Mun-Yol's 10-volume, which sticks to the Luo Guanzhong version while providing comparisons with Chen Shou and other sources at appropriate junctures, and making broader connections highlighting less obvious allusions and narratives. I like it because its historical analysis doesn't get bogged down, it remains very much in a literary spirit - that is, not only about 'what really happened' but the 'who' of the characters and what kind of stories might have mattered most or what kind of stories might have come about how/why. It also juggles the famous Liu Bei vs Cao Cao bias nicely, a troublesome affair for any rendition.

Notable examples include its lengthy discussion of Zhang Fei's butcher-apprentice days and the kind of village milieu he lived in (and what kind of 'position' he might have held in the townspeoples' eyes); which parts of Wang Yun's stratagems against Dong Zhuo might have been probable; the sheer violence of Zhuge Liang's alleged trapping and burning of the Wutugu troops and their rattan armor (which, while one of the less verified stories in the saga, is an interesting counterpoint to the standard, inhumanely aloof and serene characterisation of Zhuge Liang); and so forth.
