This is book 2 of 3, but the only one I could get on audio. The beginning definitely feels like you're jumping into the middle of a continuing story and are supposed to know who's who and what's going on. I did not appreciate that. His emulation of Wodehouse, at least in character voice, is spot-on and delightful. The application of that voice to a spy story was nice. The crafting of the plot however was nowhere close to the Wodehousian standard. So, all in all, I found it merely a pleasant read. Simon Prebble did an excellent job as expected (although his American accent is not the best).
