Publisher's summary
The peaceful slumber of the Worcester village of Rudge-in-the-Vale is about to be rudely disrupted. First there’s a bitter feud between peppery Colonel Wyvern and the Squire of Rudge Hall, rich but miserly Lester Carmody. Second, that arch-villain Chimp Twist has opened a health farm, and he and Soapy and Dolly Molloy are planning a fake burglary so Lester can diddle his insurance company. After the knockout drops are served, things get a little complicated. But will Lester’s nephew, John, win over his true love, Colonel Wyvern’s daughter Pat, and restore tranquility to the idyll? It’s a close-run thing....

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,355
In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-gestating memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words, never know the passionate, joyful, caring, and complicated woman that Riley loved and now grieved. Riley got the tapes that her mother had recorded for the book, lay in her bed, and listened as Lisa Marie told story after story about smashing golf carts together in the yards of Graceland, about the unconditional love she felt from her father, about being upstairs, just the two of them.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,458
Sydney Shaw, like every single woman in New York, has terrible luck with dating. She’s seen it all: men who lie in their dating profile, men who stick her with the dinner bill, and worst of all, men who can't shut up about their mothers. But finally, she hits the jackpot. Her new boyfriend is utterly perfect. He's charming, handsome, and works as a doctor at a local hospital. Sydney is swept off her feet. Then the brutal murder of a young woman—the latest in a string of deaths across the coast—confounds police. The primary suspect? A mystery man who dates his victims before he kills them.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,028
The plane is jam-packed. Every seat is taken. So of course the flight is delayed! Flight attendant Allegra Patel likes her job—she’s generally happy with her life, even if she can’t figure out why she hooks up with a man she barely speaks to—but today is her twenty-eighth birthday. She can think of plenty of things she’d rather be doing than placating a bunch of grumpy passengers.

Wonderful!
I can’t get enough of PGW - his paragraph length adjectives are remarkably unique! One of his best outside Wooster.

Good, Worthwhile, Although Not Wodehouse's Best
If I were grading this book I'd give it a "B." It's worth listening to. The narrator, Jonathan Cecil, raises the quality of the story by an irritated, upper-crust accent. Cecil is at his best doing the voice of the Sargent-Major, who is decidedly not upper-crust yet is (in my opinion) the funniest character in the book. A fun entertainment.

Wodehouse: light, funny, romantic, silly, darling, as whimsical as A Midsomer Night"s Dream ( Woody Allen's movie version) If you have enjoyed his books- you will enjoy
reading his works again. If you''ve never read Wodehouse- you have the chance to savor some British goofiness you can only find with Wodehouse. Relax, let go and listen. savor the beauty of Wodehouse, the British genius. There is only one writer who can spin such fine tales. Thank you, Audible, again for the chance to read old favorites in INCLUDED categories. And, yes, there is a crime.

Fine Wodehouse story
Wodehouse often said his books were musical comedies without the music. It's an apt description, and certainly fits Money For Nothing. You've got your young hero, the girl he can't seem to get engaged to, and some crooks to add some spice to the mix. As crooks go, Chimp Twist, Dolly and Soapy Malloy aren't very good, so you have menace which isn't really very menacing. With Wodehouse, it's more HOW the story is told, as opposed to the plot itself. And I was just in the mood for something light. Jonathan Cecil does a fine job, although a few times he sounded like he really, really needed a glass of water.

Great entertainment, well narrated
Nice escape to an earlier time. A few areas where it gets a little slow but overall a typical Wodehouse story.
