The Girl In Blue - Softcover
When a chap is short of a crust - and in love to boot - he is usually willing to embark on any money-making venture suggested . . . Even if it means ransacking a lady's bedroom! Young G.G.F. West is in just such a bind, and so is his impecunious Uncle Crispin. So, when a charming 'Girl in Blue' (a Gainsborough miniature, to be exact) vanishes, both chaps are recruited to restore her to her rightful owner.

Review:
"It's dangerous to use the word genius to describe a writer, but I'll risk it with him" (John Humphrys)
"For as long as I'm immersed in a P.G. Wodehouse book, it's possible to keep the real world at bay and live in a far, far nicer, funnier one where happy endings are the order of the day" (Marian Keyes)
"Wodehouse always lifts your spirits, no matter how high they happen to be already" (Lynne Truss)
"The incomparable and timeless genius - perfect for readers of all ages, shapes and sizes!" (Kate Mosse)
"Not only the funniest English novelist who ever wrote but one of our finest stylists" (Susan Hill)

If he were, he would not have been summoned to sit on the jury with the delightful Jane, with whom he falls instantly in love. Only then does the sudden realisation that he is already engaged to Vera Upshaw strike him. Vera has been insisting that Jerry is entitled to his inheritance, currently kept in trust by his Uncles Crispin and Willoughby.

But when she goes missing, believed stolen, Jerry is called upon to track her down, wherever she may be. Seller Inventory # 081510005
