For fans of the master, just when you had accepted that there couldn't be any more, a new Jeeves and Wooster story. Faulks comes up with amusing dialogue and some classic Wodehouse situations: a scene in which Wooster, impersonating a butler, disastrously serves dinner, is up there with the best. But he lacks Wodehouse's deft economy with plot and character and sometimes the pace slackens. Still an entertaining read.
