This book consists of four long stories, all of which are Jeeves & Wooster pastiches.
The first two are fairly straightforward bumbling-upper-class-twit-and-wise-servant stories, and frequently they are very funny.
Then, the author decided that he wanted to segue to having Reggie be more of a 'consulting gentleman detective', and the stories switch to being somewhere between Jeeves & Wooster and Sherlock Holmes. Unfortunately, the humor largely is jettisoned, and the final story is extremely complicated.
So, I don't think I'll be reading any more of these... they're clever, but he's going in a direction I don't really enjoy.
