As Wodehouse himself once noted, "Blandings has impostors like other houses have mice." On this particular occasion, there are two imposters, both intent on a dangerous enterprise. Lord Emsworth's secretary, the Efficient Baxter, is on the alert and determined to discover what is afoot - despite the distractions caused by the Honorable Freddie Threepwood's hapless affair of the heart.

Story
The hideous Walsingford Hall is home to an odd assortment of coves…The vile premises belong to Sir Buckstone, who is in a little financial difficulty. So for a little monetary help he puts a roof over the heads of people like (among others) Tubby Vanringham, the adoring slave of cold-hearted Miss Whittaker. His brother Joe has fallen head over heels for Sir Buck’s daughter, Jane. She, however, only has eyes for Adrian Peake, who has already formed a liaison with the terrifying - but superbly wealthy - Princess Dwornitzchek. Is there no end to the confusion?

Most of the big money belongs to Torquil Paterson Frisby, the dyspeptic American millionaire--but that doesn't stop him wanting more out of it. His niece, the beautiful Ann Moon, is engaged to "Biscuit", Lord Biskerton, who doesn't have very much of the stuff and so he has to escape to Valley Fields to hide from his creditors. Meanwhile, his old school friend Berry Conway, who is working for Frisby, himself falls for Ann--just as Biscuit falls for her friend Kitchie Valentine. Life in the world of Wodehouse can sometimes become a little complicated.

It’s the summer of ’77 in New York City, and the only thing more unnerving than the scorching heatwave is the rampant murder, leaving washed-up homicide detective Richard Dietrich on edge. When Dietrich investigates a brutal mob hit the brass doesn’t want him to solve, he goes from phoning it in to getting in over his head. Caught up in a mysterious second homicide with an even more perplexing perpetrator, Dietrich starts to second guess his instincts—and his memory—as he searches for answers at the bottom of a bottle.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

It takes a lot of effort for Jimmy Crocker to become Piccadilly Jim – nights on the town roistering, headlines in the gossip columns, a string of broken hearts and breaches of promise. Eventually he becomes rather good at it and manages to go to pieces with his eyes open. But no sooner has Jimmy cut a wild swathe through fashionable London than his terrifying Aunt Nesta decides he must mend his ways. He then falls in love with the girl he has hurt most of all, and after that things get complicated. In a dizzying plot, impersonations pile on impersonations....

Something Funny
The strongest stories here rank among Wodehouse’s very best: “The Shadow Passes”, “Birth of a Salesman” and “Success Story”. One, “Rodney Has a Relapse”, is even funnier when you know Rodney’s backstory (told in three stories, found in a collection published twenty-four years earlier, The Heart of a Goof, also highly recommended). The only low spot, “How’s That, Umpire?”, lacks Wodehouse’s trademark complexity, though still served up with his usual comic panache.
One of six titles released in 2015 featuring Simon Vance at the mic, Nothing Serious stands, like the other five (Barmy in Wonderland, Quick Service, Money in the Bank, Bill the Conqueror and Frozen Assets) high in my hit parade of repeated listening. Unlike his earlier, rather leaden work on Uneasy Money, Vance gives six consistently standout performances.

Superb - Classic Wodehouse
Simon Vance is a great narrator for Wodehouse's work. The stories are brillantly funny, and the last story is one of the best. Thanks to whatever God there may be for Woodhouse.

Great Wodehouse, poorly served by Simon Vance
These stories range from Good Wodehouse--which is better than most authors manage on their best days--to Great Wodehouse--which is about the best one can hope for.
For me, Jonathan Cecil is the definitive voice of Wodehouse and I find Simon Vance substantially inferior--both in his style and in his limited ability to provide unique, instantly recognizable voices to a wide range of characters within a story.
Most unforgivably, Vance mis-pronounces the name of that Man of Wrath, Stanley Featherstonehaugh Ukridge. His constant use of "Uh-kridge" instead of "You-kridge" grated so painfully on my ear that "Success Story" was almost un-listenable.
I am disappointed to see that Vance appears to the reader of choice for the latest round of Wodehouse audiobooks. I hope that a more worthy successor to the legendary Jonathan Cecil can be found.

One of my favorite short story compilations
Gems include a final Lord Emsworth story and rather wraps up The incorrigible Uckridge. Even the golfing stories are interesting. Thanks for sharing so many song and dance short stories, Wodehouse!!!

the last 3 stories were
the last three stories were the most entertaining. I have a good knowledge of golf, but the golf stories lacked believable humor.
Still a HUGE Wodehouse fan.

Meh
I have fallen in love with PG Wodehouse, but these short stories were not as clever or entertaining as others I've read. Maybe I'm just partial to Jeeves and Bertie Wooster and the shenanigans at Blandings Castle... these stories just fell flat.
