About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Jeeves and the King of Clubs, written by Ben Schott and read by James Lance.

'Impossible to read without grinning idiotically' - Mark Sanderson, Evening Standard


Storm clouds loom over Europe. Treason is afoot in the highest social circles. The very security of the nation is in peril. Jeeves, it transpires, has long been an agent of British Intelligence, but now His Majesty's Government must turn to the one man who can help . . . Bertie Wooster.

In this magnificent new homage to P. G. Wodehouse, Ben Schott leads Jeeves and Wooster on an uproarious adventure of espionage through the secret corridors of Whitehall, the sunlit lawns of Brinkley Court, and the private clubs of St James's.

We encounter an unforgettable cast of characters – old and new – including outraged chefs and exasperated aunts, disreputable politicians and gambling bankers, slushy debs and Cockney cabbies, sphinx-like tailors, and sylph-like spies.

There is treachery to be foiled, naturally, but also horses to be backed, auctions to be fixed, engagements to be escaped, madmen to be blackballed, and a new variety of condiment to be cooked up.

Jeeves & the King of Clubs is essential reading for aficionados of The Master, and a perfect introduction to the joys of Jeeves and Wooster for those who have never before dipped their toe.

Critic reviews

"Impossible to read without grinning idiotically." (Mark Sanderson, Evening Standard)

All stars
Most relevant
Faultless J&W writing with just the occasional sense of being 21st century creation. Brilliantly read with perfect timing, nuance and intonation.
Excellently produced. (Although why does the author's post script run on without a breath from the final sentence of the book?).

More please!

Most entertaining story. Well voiced but hard act to follow F&L. Look forward to more stories.

Great yarn! Always loved the characters and this is an impressive and thoughtful Morden update. Scottish accents a little to be desired but Bertie and the faithful Jeeves spot on….

Wonderful …

the Scottish accent was mixture Scottish and French took away from the story for me

Mr Schott got the characterisations about right, and each character's patter was approximately on the button. The book is fun, but obviously it's nothing like a real PGW novel. I have the feeling that it's unfair to compare anyone with the master of English literary humour, but to what else can one compare such a work? Certainly a credit worthy effort in a lost cause.

A good attempt at an impossible task.
