About this listen

Jeeves is on holiday in Herne Bay, and while he's away the world caves in on Bertie Wooster. For a start, he's astonished to read in The Times of his engagement to the mercurial Bobbie Wickham. Then at Brinkley Court, his Aunt Dahlia's establishment, he finds his awful former head master in attendance ready to award the prizes at Market Snodsbury Grammar School. And finally the Brinkley butler turns out for reasons of his own to be Bertie's nemesis in disguise, the brain surgeon Sir Roderick Glossop.

With all occasions informing against him, Bertie has to hightail it to Herne Bay to liberate Jeeves from his shrimping net. And after that, the fun really starts.

After listening to Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit which for me was a high mark in the series, I found Jeeves in the Offing a great novel to spend time with, and great good fun, largely because the whirl-wind Bobbie Wickham. Bertie’s friend Kipper is good to get to know. Aunt Dahlia is as supremely herself, and Sir Roderick Glossop gloriously a departure from his usual self. The audio-book is well produced and clearly performed. However, Ian Carmichael is perhaps less convincing for me as Bertie, and I always expected Lord Peter Wimsey to be revealed. This is my problem and should not worry prospect listeners. By this twelfth outing of Bertie some of the repeating quotes lose some of their sparkle and word abbreviations of one letter do not always work unless the context is clear. This is fine with a print copy of the novel, but with an audio book less so. I am committed to the Jeeves series and am preparing to devour ‘Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves’. I can warmly recommend Jeeves on the offing.
