Just shows how perceptions can differ! The voice Davidson used was very close to the one he uses for a British Army officer who's risen from the ranks, i.e., not patrician, so it didn't strike me as particularly foppish. But I also listen to Davidson a
lot; this was the seventh book narrated by him I've listened to this year alone (he's in second place for me this year) so I went into it with a preconceived favorable opinion. Davidson's a love/hate proposition, though; I know he gets lot of negative reactions.
