The Little Nugget by P. G. Wodehouse audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Mrs Nesta Ford, in her London hotel room, reveals to her new friend Lord Mountry that she hopes to take her son Ogden on a yachting trip proposed by Mountry, despite her ex-husband having won custody of the boy. As Mountry leaves, Cynthia Drassilis arrives with Ogden, whom she has led away from his father's country house. Mrs Ford rewards Cynthia, but soon Mr Ford's secretary, a Mr Minnick, arrives to recover the stolen child. Cynthia tries to bribe his colleague, Mrs Sheridan, but to no avail, as she believes Nesta's influence has spoiled the boy. After they have gone, Nesta reveals to Cynthia Ogden's past as the 'Little Nugget', and the repeated attempts to kidnap him made by US gangsters. Nesta wishes to call in professional help, but Cynthia persuades her she can still do it, with the help of her new fiancé, a wealthy man called Peter Burns, who she suggests can take up a post at Ogden's new school, posing as a trainee schoolmaster.

The Intrusion of Jimmy by P. G. Wodehouse audiobook.

Genre: comedy

Jimmy Pitt has money, charm, and a dangerous surplus of curiosity. Fresh from New York nightlife and a new obsession with gentleman-thief stage heroes, he talks himself into a reckless wager: prove that any man can pull off a burglary. With the help of Spike Mullins, a down-at-heels small-time crook who takes Jimmy far too seriously as a master cracksman, Jimmy breaks into the wrong house and collides with police-captain-turned-social-climber McEachern and his guarded, captivating daughter, Molly, the girl Jimmy first noticed on a transatlantic voyage. When the whole party converges on England and the grand, gossiping world of Dreever Castle, Jimmy finds himself trapped between drawing rooms and locked doors, glittering jewels and sharper suspicions. Molly is being maneuvered toward an unwanted match with Lord Dreever, while Jimmy's own reputation is threatened by the very criminal masquerade he started as a joke. As impostors, amateur detectives, and schemers multiply, Jimmy must keep Spike out of trouble, keep himself out of jail, and find a way to prove that his heart is honest even when the evidence is not.

Three Men and a Maid by P. G. Wodehouse ~ Full Audiobook [comedy]

Three Men and a Maid by P. G. Wodehouse audiobook.

Genre: comedy

This book with two titles, Three Men and a Maid in the USA and The Girl on the Boat in the UK is a typical PG Wodehouse romantic comedy, involving, at various times: a disastrous talent quest, a lawyer with a revolver, a bulldog with a mind of his own and a suit of armour!

The maid, or marriageable young woman, of the American title is red-haired, dog-loving Wilhelmina 'Billie' Bennet. The three men are Bream Mortimer, a long-time friend and admirer of Billie, Eustace Hignett, a poet of sensitive disposition who is engaged to Billie at the opening of the tale, and Sam Marlowe, Eustace's would-be-dashing cousin, who falls for Billie at first sight. All four find themselves on an ocean liner headed for England together (hence the British title), along with an elephant-gun-wielding young woman called Jane Hubbard who is smitten with Eustace the poet. Typically Wodehousian romantic shenanigans ensue. Even Estace's redoubtable mother (a Theosophist author and public speaker) fails to quell the excitement
