"I really enjoyed this book. The plot is typical Wodehouse and much too convoluted to describe, so I won't even bother. However, I will say that the book includes:
--scenic French surroundings --no less than 5 secret/mistaken identities --romances gone awry --jewel thieves...and their girlfriends --a grown man dressed in a lizard costume
Although one of his lesser known books, Hot Water has all the trademark humor, language, and charm that is found in P.G. Wodehouse's work."
