Note for audiobook readers: The American accents in the edition read by Emilia Fox, especially that of the character Walter Hudd, are so hilariously atrocious that I almost didn't finish the book. There's no mention of his character's region of origin—American is his only identifier—, and the narrator had him traveling from New York to Boston to Atlanta to Dallas, with detours to Glasgow, sometimes within a single sentence. Carrie Louise’s Mid-Atlantic accent was much more stable, with the occasional London R, but that's nitpicking and was only noticable, because Walter had me on alert.
