Story
Myrna, Leonie, and Chrissy meet every Thursday to sample fine cheeses, to reminisce about their former lives as professors, and lately, to muse about murder. Decades ago, a vicious cabal of male poets contrived—quite publicly and successfully—to undermine the writing career, confidence, and health of their dear friend Fern. Now, after Fern has taken a turn for the worse, her three old friends decide that it’s finally time to strike back—in secret, of course, since Fern is far too gentle to approve of a vendetta.

Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Story
“The Heron” is the nickname a big-city accountant has attached to himself in his new home near San Diego, where he’s using the alias to avoid a hit man who may be after him. It seems a former client believes that The Heron has skipped town with several million dollars not his own. Don Winslow’s ensuing, entertaining yarn is by turns twisty, dark, and comical as we observe the delicate dance between the pursuer and the pursued.

A fun romp
I'm a big fan of Wodehouse and have most of the audiobooks and love them all. This one have a fun story and was a bit different, being that Bertie Wooster is only mentioned and Jeeves is on lone to the hero of this story. It takes place after WWII in an England where the aristocracy had lost much of it's power and wealth and the characters watch horse races on tv. The story itself is basically the typical Wodehouse kind of story, ludicrous and pretty funny. The reader does a great job, and I enjoyed it a lot. Not quite as funny and the Jeeves and Wooster stories, but still plenty of fun.

Delightful
I avoided this for a long time because Bertie Wooster isn't in it. Big mistake. It's a delightful story, every bit as laugh-out-loud funny as any Wooster and Jeeves outing, and Nigel Lambert is a wonderful reader. Wodehouse treats his characters badly, ratcheting up the tension and the potential calamities down to the last 15 minutes - and then Jeeves, as always, saves the day with a few brilliant, fish-fed suggestions. It's all based on the psychology of the individual - and no one is better manager of that than Jeeves.

possibly the best Woodehouse
I am a big Woodehose fan, especially in audio format. However, I don't think I have ever enjoyed him so much. The narrator --Nigel Lambert-- really makes the characters come alive, making Woodehouse's words shine.
I don't think there's anything left to say, except stating that this is the way to enjoy Woodehouse.

Love Will Find A Way
Surprised ending was nice surprise. The description of the old mansion added extra flavor to the story. I've been such locations and there is always talk of repair and sale. Wish the character of the adventurer had been fleshed out more.

A sort of time capsule of post-war Britain
One of the things I like most about Wodehouse books is that everyone's always talking about money - having it, losing it, marrying for it, borrowing it - in great detail. The result is that you end up learning a lot about the economic conditions of the time in which the stories are set. And that's one of the best aspects of this book.
'Ring for Jeeves' is set in post-WWII Britain, when the term 'impoverished nobility' was more applicable than ever before: the economy was a mess, the pound had been devalued, and even titled aristocrats - who formerly had lived on 'private income' or income from large country estates - had to start getting real jobs and selling their 15-bedroom castles to Americans, who were the only ones with enough money to handle the upkeep.
The male members of the leisure class are forced to take jobs at Harrods-like department stores, and the 'delicately nurtured' female members are becoming more independent and career-minded: Hilarity ensues!
In many ways, the story feels like a Blandings Castle novel onto which Jeeves has been grafted. It's not entirely successful (apparently wrote the play first, and then turned it into a book, and I think the retrofitting is apparent) but overall it's a decent story, has some good moments of humor, and provides a great insight into the upper classes in the late 40s and early 50s.

No Wooster, but classic Wodehouse
This story has everything you expect from a Jeeves story (except Wooster); gambling (horse races), lords "in the soup", complicated relationships, money trouble and the threat of violence.
Regarding the reading performance, it is very good, but the american accent is terrible. This is not something that usually disturbs me - I expect it, and it can even be endearing (the reader is English, after all), but the exaggerated intrusive 'R', which is typically found in UK accents is here used in an effort to americanise the speech (which is of course backwards) became grating. Not enough by far to make me not recommend it, but I do have to remove points for it.

Jeeves and Wooster, without Wooster
A different take on the theme of the series, featuring the wonderful Jeeves getting young gents out of "the soup", but without Bertie Wooster as the prime subject. Not to worry, his friend in lieu was just as mixed up in various difficulties as ever, with another unique assortment of colorful friends and relations at a country house, often working at cross-purposes. It was an enjoyable set of twists of fate and caricatures. I had to be careful where I listened lest I laugh out loud too much.

The worst Jeeves novel unfortunately
A huge fan of Wodehouse, Jeeves, Blandings and everything else Plum, I have always been greatly disappointed by Ring for Jeeves. The story is weak. Very weak. It bumps jarringly all the way. The characters are neither interesting nor well-developed. The plot and subplots are brittle and forced and the attempts at humour are flat, strained, and repetitive and one can always guess the exact punchline is coming up next. This is like a post-Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner which lasts for weeks on leftovers from other novels and causes much dyspepsia. Not even the Amazing Mr Nigel Lambert can redeem it, although he tries his best.
Every Wodehouse lover will read this, for we must read all his works which are so brilliant, and leave wondering why Plum wrote this at all.
