Summary
The precarious peace of Blandings is shattered when her necklace becomes the object of dark plottings, for within the castle lurk some well connected jewel thieves - among them the Honourable Freddie Threepwood, Lord Emsworth's younger son, who wants the reward money to set up a bookmaking business.
Psmith, the elegant socialist, is also after it for his newly married chum Mike. And on patrol with the impossible task of bringing management to Blandings is the Efficient Baxter, whose strivings for order lead to a memorable encounter with the castle flowerpots.
Will peace ever return to Blandings Castle...?

Another superb performance
A real treat for PSmith and blending a fans. Jonathan Cecil performs all characters brilliantly making this a real pleasure to listen to.
The only disappointment is Wodehouse didn't write any more with PSmith as secretary.

amazing
I absolutely loved this book. I listened to it every night and found it hilarious. I love how eloquent Psmith and I have picked up many catch phrases of his

Brilliant story but terrible recording
Loved it, I've always been a fan of PG Wodehouse and Jonathan Cecil delivers it well. Although the recording is a little fuzzy at times so listening in the car was difficult.

Good story if you can get over poor recording
Poor and inconsistent quality recording but great story! The story is, if I may say so, better than Jeeves & Wooster.

Wodehouse vividly brought to life
I greatly enjoyed the characterisation of the different parts.
The narration is most pleasing to the ear.
The plot lends itself well to being listened to.

Classic Wodehouse
This was the second time that I had read this classic. Beautifully written and with some really funny set pieces.
If you like the work of PG Wodehouse, then this is not to be missed. Wonderful narration, as always.

Great story, very good narrator, poor sound quality
One of the best Wodehouse novels, and Cecil is a good narrator who does justive to the book. In a few places it is a little hard to follow the dialogue because he does not do the voices very differently from each other, but that is rarely a problem.
The recording quality is poor, however. Sometimes it sounds as if Cecil is speaking from inside a very small space, sometimes the recording volume changes abruptly between chapters, and sometimes there are long pauses between sentences for no reason. This does not stop me from enjoying the book, but it is something Audible should have rectified before selling the recording. Even if this is an older recording transferred from tape (which is my guess) it is possible to do things like equalising the sound when it is digitalised.
