Jeeves in the Offing read by Ian Carmichael. Alas, while Carmichael's a good actor, as a Wodehouse narrator, he's no Jonathan Cecil. Or Martin Jarvis. Or Frederick Davidson. Or Simon Vance. All of whom do a much better job. The character voices are inconsistent, the interpretation of Bertie is just weird, and he speaks much too fast. In a first for me, I've reduced the playback speed to 0.9! It's virtually incoherent as rendered.
