Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of Maskerade is narrated by Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
'There's a kind of magic in masks. Masks conceal one face, but they reveal another. The one that only comes out in darkness....'
The Opera House in Ankh-Morpork is home to music, theatrics and a harmless masked Ghost who lurks behind the scenes. But now a set of mysterious backstage murders may just stop the show.
Agnes Nitt has left her rural home of Lancre in the hopes of launching a successful singing career in the big city. The only problem is, she doesn't quite look the part. And there are two witches who would much rather she return home to join their coven.
Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg have travelled to Ankh-Morpork to convince Agnes that life as a witch is much better than one on the stage. Only now they're caught up in a murder mystery featuring masks and maniacal laughter.
And the show MUST go on....
Maskerade is the fifth book in the Witches series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.
The first book in the Discworld series – The Colour of Magic – was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Brilliant!
This is one of Terry Pratchett’s finest stories. I love anything with Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, but this is my favourite of their adventures.
The narration on this edition is absolutely PERFECT 😍

Prima Donna Indira Varma gets a standing ovation
This won’t be a long review. It’s a wonderful, clever, well-written book, with a wonderful, clever, well-read narration. It has richly rewarded the time it’s taken me to listen to it. Pratchett is brilliant, Maskerade is brilliant, and Indira Varma’s rendition of it is absolutely perfect. Couldn’t wish for better.

Sublime
Thank goodness for Indira Varma. I’ve loved all things Terry Pratchett for more years than I care to mention but have not enjoyed previous audiobook incarnations. Indira Varma is beyond perfection, bringing the nuances, voices and personalities to life and a joy for me to listen to.

Worth buying for a fourth time
Hardback, paperback, first Audible edition and now this. Indira Varma does a superb job of interpreting Terry’s writings and characters; she also manages the true narrator’s skill of varying voices sufficiently for me to begin to doubt it’s all her.

Wonderful update
Loving these new recordings of such brilliant stories. The narration is perfect and the additional voices works so well. Nothing to complain about - can’t wait for the rest of the Discworld releases!

Another Discworld Classic
There are so many observations and twistings of reality and references to sections of well known films, I found myself frequently laughing out loud and grinning. The reading is really good and brings the characters to life. The Phantom Of The Opera will never be the same again.
