When his wife tells him she's leaving him for a more artsy man, Reggie asks for a 6 month grace period to work it out and then hits up Parker Pyne.



Pyne sets him up with a fake girlfriend (his assistant) who has so much va-va-va-voom that he wouldn't trust most men not to fall head over heels for her. But Reggie loves his wife.
And there's no way his wife won't be jealous once the stunning Madeleine shows an interest in her sports-loving husband.



This is one of the few cases that doesn't go the way Pyne thinks it will.

I liked it! It was the cute evil twin of the short story, The Case of the Middle-aged Wife.
