Death at the Excelsior
Death at the Excelsior and Other Stories is a posthumous compilation of short stories written by P. G. Wodehouse and compiled by Project Gutenberg.
This is a collection of the first stories written by Wodehouse. With the author's characteristic humorous tone, we are presented with stories of varied themes such as detectives, love, crimes or two short stories of the charismatic Jeeves.
This compilation includes the following stories:
- Death at the Excelsior
- Misunderstood
- The Best Sauce
- Jeeves and the Chump Cyril
- Jeeves in the Springtime
- Concealed Art
- The Test Case
In these stories by P. G. Wodehouse, perhaps the darkest of his work as they deal with real murders and cases, the author achieves the mastery of giving form to the macabre without becoming really unpleasant.
