Right Ho! Smithers : Pandemonium At Ponsby

Dive beak-first into a riotous romp through the English countryside, where tea is sacred, ducks are militant, and dumbwaiters hide more than secrets. When Reginald 'Reggie' Marlow', an unsuspecting gent with a fondness for cravats and confusion, inherits his late aunt's eccentric estate at Ponsby, he finds himself tangled in a mystery involving missing aristocrats, belligerent birds, and a valet Smithers whose intellect could outfox Sherlock Holmes—if Holmes had been interrupted by flying teapots and séance cheese.

With a cast of scandal-prone cousins, a parrot that speaks fluent sarcasm, and one especially smug mallard named Cyril, A "Right Ho! Smithers- Pandemonium At Ponsby"  is a delightfully absurd mystery-comedy in the grand tradition of P.G. Wodehouse . Perfect for fans of dry wit, country-house capers, and mysteries where the only thing truly at stake is afternoon tea.
A Comedy of Manners, Mayhem, and Mallards

A missing aristocrat. A valet with Sherlockian wits. And one unusually vindictive duck.

When Reggie inherits Ponsby Manor from his formidable late aunt (whose idea of affection was throwing teaspoons), he anticipates a quiet life among the roses and relics. What he gets instead is a house full of secrets, cousins clamouring for inheritance, mysterious telegrams from the Queen, and a séance involving a cheese wheel and a broken umbrella.

Enter Smithers—the valet with more brains than the rest of the county combined—and Cyril, a duck who may or may not be staging a coup. Toss in an American cousin who thinks every problem can be solved with a baseball bat and metaphors, and things spiral faster than a vicar in a wheelbarrow.

Will Smithers save the estate—or will the ducks take over entirely?
