'Peerless in its wit, elegance and silliness.' Evening Standard BOOKS OF THE YEAR
A Sunday Times PAPERBACK OF THE YEAR __________________________________________________________________

'A most thrilling return of Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster . . . it vibrates with the spirit and the rhythms of his heart.'
'Remarkably good . . . in its similes, pace and general zing, this yarn is eerily Wodehousian.'

A glorious procession of high jinks -- Louis Wise - Sunday Times
Schott rises to the occasion with a rebooting of one of literature's great double acts that captures His Master's Voice and, above all, the famous Wodehouse rhythm... A brilliant conceit: a network of spies in livery, silently watching the movers and shakers - The Times
Impossible to read without grinning idiotically. Tinkety-tonk! -- Mark Sanderson - Evening Standard
Blisteringly well done -- Quentin Letts -
