Another great Wodehouse book! I loved reading about characters that I had met in previous books.

The fourth installment in the Blanding's Castle series. The Honourable Galahad Threepwood has decided to stay with Lord Emsworth at Blandings while he writes his tell-all memoir. His neighbor is afraid of what's in the memoir, so he hires a creepy detective to steal it. Add in two star crossed lovers, a crazy ex-secretary, Beech the butler, and a stolen pig and the usual mayhem ensues. Fans of Wodehouse with love this installment as well.

Pacing was SO slow that I got too bored to continue. Characters were not interesting/quirky enough.

Wodehouse is magic, bringing simple (though definitely not uncomplicated) joy with his mastery of mirth and whimsy
