New Narrator Is a Disaster

I wasn't aware of the change in the narrator when I purchased this audible book. He completely destroyed thr entire world of Brunetti so carefully constructed during the prior books. He narrates everything from a British cultural perspective rather than capturing the rich Italian cultural ambience built by the author and nurtured in the earlier narrations. I couldn't get past the first chapter.
