Aunts Aren't Gentlemen by P.G. Wodehouse
3.0
After finding some spots on his chest, Wooster heads to the country town of Maiden Eggesford for some relaxation in tow. Too bad Aunt Dahlia wants him to steal a cat in order to win a horse race and Orlo Porter things Bertie is in town to woo Vanessa Cook out from under him...
My Jeeves novels reread is complete with Aunts Aren't Gentlemen, aka The Cat-Nappers. This, the last ever Jeeves book penned by Wodehouse during his lifetime, is kind of slim at 140 pages in the edition I've now read twice. Still, old Plum crammed a lot of twists into this one. It's a little odd having Wooster encounter protesters in the early 1970s, though, since he's been a man about town for around 50 years at this point. The ending wasn't that great either but Plum was into his 90s when he wrote it so I'll cut him some slack.
