My review:?????
Jeeves and the Leap of Faith by Ben Schott is the second in his Jeeves and Wooster stories. Bertie and Jeeves are still rubbing along together, and there are hijinks at the Drones club, which Jeeves needs to help save. There are friends in love, and other people who you desperately don’t want to bump into.
I haven’t read any Jeeves and Wooster books for ages, but I remember loving them, and I really feel like Ben Schott has continued the hilarity. Jeeves is still the one with the brains, and Bertie Wooster continues to lack them for the most part, but he’s not quite as foolish as I remember, or as I think of Hugh Laurie being, and that’s not a bad thing.
I really enjoyed this book, and was laughing out loud on more than one occasion. If you loved P.G. Wodehouse, I think you’ll be pleased at how true to him Ben Schott is, including his references at the back to Wodehouse.
Jeeves and the Leap of Faith was published on 15th October 2020, and is available to buy from Amazon, Waterstones and your local independent bookshop.

I was given this book in return for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Random House Cornerstone.
