Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse
3.0
My Jeeves reread continues with Stiff Upper Lip, Jeeves. In this volume, Woosters returns to Totleigh Towers, setting of Code of the Woosters, to fix things between Gussie Fink Nottle and Madeline Bassett or he'll wind up marrying Basset himself. There's also Emerald Stoker, the saga of Stiffy Bing and Stinker Pinker, Roderick Spode, and a black amber statuette.
There were a few more moving parts in this one than most Jeeves and Wooster books. I kept forgetting who was entangled with whom when it came to Stiffy Bing and Madeline Bassett. Still, it was a fun ride. Engagements broken, engagements made, people being stuck about the head and shoulders, and black amber statuettes being pinched. As usual, Jeeves sorts things out in the end but not without hitches.
Not my favorite Jeeves book by any stretch but still a ton of fun. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
