Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of Snuff is narrated by impressionist and actor Jon Culshaw, best known for BBC Radio 4’s Dead Ringers, and for the Doctor Who audiobooks and dramas. 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.
'THE JURISDICTION OF A GOOD MAN EXTENDS TO THE END OF THE WORLD.'
Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is having some time off. Apparently.
But crime doesn't take a break - it's a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman on holiday would barely have time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.
In the seemingly peaceful countryside, Vimes discovers much more than a body in the wardrobe. For the local nobles are hiding a deep, dark secret. There are many, many bodies - and an ancient atrocity more terrible than murder.
Vimes is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth and out of his mind. But never out of ideas. Where there is a crime there must be a punishment.
They say that in the end all sins are forgiven. This might be the exception ...
Snuff is the eighth book in the City Watch 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.
Critic reviews
'As effortlessly, generously funny as only Pratchett can be, Snuff doesn't stint on laying bare the darker side of life either' Sunday Times

Another winner from the master of serious humour
The storyline is justifiably fun and clever well written and narrated, the vivid details of somewhere slightly gross and disturbing but familiar makes it so entertaining

Don’t miss this!
One of Pratchett’s best - and that’s saying something. Contemporary & historical themes, attitudes and values get reframed and exhibited in the clothing of a fantasy world. and the story is masterful, gripping fiction in its own right. The narrator is a joy.

Brilliant Narration
Jon Culshaw is a master of voices and brings Terry’s book to life. Had me hooked from beginning to end.

Excellent
This is an excellent story with Pratchett at his best. The performance significantly enhances the book, so that even readers familiar with the story can enjoy the retelling. Highly recommended!

A fantastic story brought alive by the brilliant John Culshaw, no matter how many times I read or listen to Terry's books I enjoy just like the first time.

Very good
I think this is the only Watch book I've only read once before, and was v nice to revisit in this format as part of my re-read. Had to rewind a couple of times to catch the narration & couldn't autofill from memory, but v enjoyable.

All of the discworld books read by Jon, Bill, and Peter have been fantastic. I haven’t heard a duff one yet and I have listened to over half of them so far. Excellent.

Return of the Dark!
Wonderful, gritty and still absolutely hilarious. Vimes back in action and honestly I love it. It’s a fitting last book for he commander. Vimes and Sybil are a true match made in heaven and she is so kick ass. Young Sam is awesome and honestly TP has done it again. I don’t think there’s been a book about Vimes where I haven’t cried at the beautiful writing and sensitive attention to detail of the character.
