I've only seen a few Wodehouse books and although they were funny some started off very well and then went downhill. This novel didn't, and I chuckled my way to the very last page.
Lord Dawlish who is running out of money fast, is amazingly left a million pounds by some man he helped on the golf course a while back. He also comes into the knowledge that the niece and nephew of the deceased man are only left a pitiful amount and so decides to seek them out to give them half his inheritance despite his nagging fiance Claire's negative attitude. Things don't go as planned when he finds himself falling in love with Elizabeth the niece, who has sworn to give the man who stole her inheritance a hellish remainder of his life, unaware that the man she has started to feel close to is the 'cad' himself. Through in romantic mix-ups, manic bees, the hilarious antics of a monkey and a blonde Lord Dawlish meets in club who makes a scene and causes him to fall over and you have all the ingredients of a classic Wodehouse.
