SNUFF by Terry Pratchett

'Snuff' sees the long-awaited return of Terry Pratchett's memorable Captain Sam Vimes and yet another sure-to-be popular title in his phenomenally successful Discworld series. For those unfamiliar with these books, Terry Pratchett sets the stage for his eclectic characters in a disc-shaped world supported by four enormous elephants which stand in turn upon a titanic star turtle. This should give the first-time reader an idea of what to expect: Pratchett crams his books full of unforgettable people, places and impossible magic. The educational, scientific, social, sporting and political parallels he draws between his world and our own has become for many a comment on the human condition drawn with with, wisdom and great warmth.
38 books after Terry Pratchett started writing the series, Sam Vimes finds himself dragged away to the country by his long-suffering, well-to-do wife, Lady Sybil. Uncomfortable with high society and country teas, our suspicious Commander of the City Watch, away from the murky familiarity of his beloved Ankh-Morpork, finds himself determined to uncover a crime based on the simple theory that one must exist somewhere. And it's not long before a body turns up somewhere...
Packed with characters from previous titles to keep regular fans and fanatics happy, and new zany, twisty, devious characters to squeeze into the pantheon of Pratchett's work, 'Snuff' will personally be another of his books which I will read on a regular basis. Genuine PTM: Page Turner Material.
I hope you can't stop reading
