The Intrusion of Jimmy by PG Wodehouse (Rating: *****)
Not a laugh-riot all the way through like a typical Wodehouse but I loved it! The essence of the Wodehouse is there: an involved plot with the puppeteer juggling a hundred strings (to employ a mixed metaphor), all of which resolve themselves satisfactorily at the end. Add a superb understanding of human nature and a dollop of mirth, and there you have your pièce de résistance.
