Summary

Thursday Next, literary detective and newlywed, is back to embark on an adventure that begins, quite literally on her own doorstep. It seems that Landen, her husband of four weeks, actually drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Someone, somewhere, sometime, is responsible. The sinister Goliath Corporation wants its operative Jack Schitt out of the poem in which Thursday trapped him, and it will do almost anything to achieve this - but bribing the ChronoGuard? Is that possible?

Having barely caught her breath after The Eyre Affair, Thursday must battle corrupt politicians, try to save the world from extinction, and help the Neanderthals to species self-determination. Mastadon migrations, journeys into Just William, a chance meeting with the Flopsy Bunnies, and violent life-and-death struggles in the summer sales are all part of a greater plan.

But whose? and why?

Please note: Chapter 13 has been intentionally omitted from this title.

Lost in a good book

Really enjoying this series, fast paced with lots of unexpected turns. Confusing but strangely logical. Can’t wait to read the next one.

The ideas in this book are very creative. I enjoyed the ending very much. Also feel inspired to read some more classic novels.

Very enjoyable story, the plot with Miss Haversham is worth a credit on it’s own,
Very cleverly done.

Great Sequel

Really enjoyed listening to this book, feel like I'm getting more out of this series by listening to it, than I did when I read it.

Makes me want to listen/read the books that are mentioned. I've seen an adaptation of Great Expectations but not read one, will add it to my list, likewise The Raven.

Great book in an excellent series.

Light hearted, natural female lead without making a fuss about it, funny, quirky without being childish.
Read very well with affection and charm.
