Snuff: A Discworld Novel - City Watch

A lively outing, complete with sly shout-outs to Jane Austen and gritty police procedurals.Publishers Weekly (starred review)

In Terry Pratchetts delightful New York Times bestselling tale of crime, class, prejudice, and punishment, Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on vacation. But this is Discworld, where nothing goes as plannedand hilarious adventure ensues.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.

At long last, Lady Sybil has lured her husband, Sam Vimes, on a well-deserved and long-overdue holiday. But for the commander of the City Watch, a vacation in the country is anything but relaxing.

The balls, the teas, the mucknot to mention all that fresh air and birdsongare more than a bit taxing on a cynical city-born and -bred copper.

The policeman is back on familiar ground when a body is foundthe first of many, many corpsesand an ancient crime more terrible than murder is uncovered. Out of his jurisdiction, out of his element, and out of bacon sandwiches (thanks to his well-meaning wife) Sam must rely on his coppers instincts, guile, and Ankh-Morpork street smarts to see justice done.

As he sets off on the chase, though, he must remember to watch where he steps. .

. . This is the countryside, after all, and the streets most definitely are not paved with gold.

The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Snuff is the 8th book in the City Watch collection and the 39th Discworld book.
