The Plot That Thickened by P.G. Wodehouse

4.0

This is Wodehouse doing what he does best: gleefully extracting humor from the increasingly desparate actions of dysfunctional characters caught in a complex net of romantic relationships, petty grudges, and the like.

In this case they're competing for a bunch of pearls, but in the last Wodehouse book I read, it was cow-creamer. It really doesn't matter because Wodehouse is so much fun to read that the plot itself is somehow of secondary importance.

Best of all, the opening page contains the following phrase:

She longed to run her fingers through his butter-colored hair.
