Comprising of seven works of short fiction, ranging in genres from
crime to tender romance, Death at the Excelsior and Other Stories
depict tales of mystery and love with humor. Featuring some of P.G
Wodehouse's most famous characters, four of the seven stories
follow the misadventures of Jeeves and Bertie or Reggie Pepper.
When a friend needs help convincing his uncle to approve of his
bride-to-be, Jeeves and Bertie concoct a plan that includes the use
of romance novels in Jeeves in the Springtime. Reggie Pepper's
trouble takes center stage in The Test Case, when his lover voices
her doubts that they could ever marry. Other stories within the
collection introduce new characters, including a clever and witty
young woman named Eve in The Best Sauce. Working as a paid
companion to a woman with a stormy temper, Eve is unhappy but is
settled in her bleak condition. However, when a man from her past,
Peter Rayner, shows up in hopes to marry Eve, she devises a plan of
petty pranks to scare him out of the house. Finally, in the title
story, Death at the Excelsior, depicts a thrilling murder-mystery.
When a previously healthy sailor is found dead in the Excelsior
boarding house, Detective Snyder and his assistant, Oakes, must
catch the killer before they strike again. Assembled posthumously,
Death at the Excelsior and Other Stories features classic works of
P.G Wodehouse's short fiction, sampling from each genre he
