Hot Water

De: P. G. Wodehouse

Narrado por: Jonathan Cecil

The house party at Chateau Blissac, Brittany, features a rather odd array of guests this year.

Mr. J. Wellington Gedge is hoping for some peace and quiet while his wife takes herself off for a while. She, however, has invited numerous visitors to the chateau, to whom he will have to play reluctant host. Senator Opal and his daughter are expected, and so is the chateau's handsome owner, Vicomte de Blissac.

When a certain letter goes missing, landing the senator in the proverbial hot water, it's up to Packy Franklyn, a great pal of the vicomte's, to sort out the mess. Unfortunately this involves a little light safecracking.

my favorite Wodehouse yet

loved it the plot is masterful the dialog so amusing the performance excellent . I've been reading and listening to Wodehouse for decades never enjoyed one more

Oops

It’s a typical Wodehouse, need one say more.
I do need to comment on the description of one character chloroforming a sleeping woman, though. More than non-PC. I don’t want to advocate censorship but if that sentence were accidentally deleted no one would probably mind, not even Plum.

delightful!

I loved every second of the wonderfully entertaining story and, my g[dress, the narrator was Fabulous!

Classic Wodehouse!

Jonathan Cecil was something special.
I hope the rest of the Wodehouse works get a narrator on those impressive lines.
Some of the best characters Wodehouse created are in this story.

Great Stuff!

An absolute delight. Fantastic reader, hilarious, convoluted story. P.G. Wodehouse at his best. I recommend it highly.

My favorite Wodehouse!

This is the penultimate Wodehouse with wacky characters, an involved storyline of mistaken identities, and tied together by brilliant writing and laugh-at-loud phrases. The narrator is excellent. What a pleasure!!

Snappy dialogue

I find this author’s books so funny! Listening to them as I go about my day is a joy.

fun

madcap classic. funny story and great narration. recommend highly. really enjoyed it. why 15 word minimum??

Hilarious

Such a fun bit of mid 20th century delights. Appreciate P G Wodehouse sense of the ridiculous and ability to surprise at every turn.

Perfect

Love’s laughter is its apotheosis . Everything stood out every line a diamond like a sky full of giggling glitter — “like being in heaven without all the bother and expense of dying”
