'The work of a prolific humorist at his best' Observer

The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . .
____________________

'Sorry?' said Carrot. If it's just a thing, how can it commit murder? A sword is a thing' - he drew his own sword; it made an almost silken sound - 'and of course you can't blame a sword if someone thrust it at you, sir.'

For Commander Vimes, Head of Ankh-Morpork City Watch, life consists of troubling times, linked together by...well, more troubling times.

Right now, it's the latter. There's a werewolf with pre-lunar tension in the city, and a dwarf with attitude and a golem who's begun to think for itself, but that's just ordinary trouble. The real problem is more puzzling - people are being murdered, but there's no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene.

So Vimes not only has to find out whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not even sure what they dun. But soon as he knows what the questions are, he's going to want some answers.

Critic reviews

'Like reading Tolkien but with gags - and good gags too'

'The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody ... who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences'

(A.S. Byatt)

'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction'

'The work of a prolific humorist at his best'
'Like most true originals, Pratchett defies categorisation...Deliciously and amiably dotty...Driven by Swiftian logic and equally intellectually inventive'
'Fantastical, inventive and finally serious...It's enjoyable as crime fiction, but the real attraction is the laughter waiting to be uncovered on each page'
'An explosion of imaginative lunacy'

definitely one of Tony Robinson's better ones, loved the whole story, all the way through

Fantastic story, even for Terry Pratchett

Excellent narration and abridging that really gives the feel of Terry Pratchett's city. It keeps enough of the jokes while still keeping it short and to the point, so you can listen to one in a day easily enough. I treat them like my favourite TV episodes, something to rewatch time and time again.

Gives the feel Ankh Morpork

Terry really had a brilliant way with words. He really makes you stop and think but keeps making you laugh out loud throughout. Tony does a fab job of bringing the characters to life

Brilliant. Very thought-provoking!
