What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

'Sorry?' said Carrot. If it's just a thing, how can it commit murder? A sword is a thing' - he drew his own sword; it made an almost silken sound - 'and of course you can't blame a sword if someone thrust it at you, sir.'

For Commander Vimes, Head of Ankh-Morpork City Watch, life consists of troubling times, linked together by...well, more troubling times.

Right now, it's the latter. There's a werewolf with pre-lunar tension in the city, and a dwarf with attitude and a golem who's begun to think for itself, but that's just ordinary trouble. The real problem is more puzzling - people are being murdered, but there's no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene.

So Vimes not only has to find out whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not even sure what they dun. But soon as he knows what the questions are, he's going to want some answers.

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but Feet of Clay is the third book in the City Watch series.

'The work of a prolific humorist at his best' Observer

Critics Review

‘The work of a prolific humorist at his best’

Observer

‘Like most true originals, Pratchett defies categorisation…Deliciously and amiably dotty…Driven by Swiftian logic and equally intellectually inventive’

The Times

‘Fantastical, inventive and finally serious…It’s enjoyable as crime fiction, but the real attraction is the laughter waiting to be uncovered on each page’

Observer

Narrator has good voice and pace for most part, though I find the breathy inflection on Vimes' dialogue annoying (and so switched to x1.25 spead).
Carrot a lil too posh sounding for me.
And I didn't like the choice of voice for Drumknott, but that seems to be a production thing, as it's similar to that done in the Truth.

Good complex mystery, lots of character growth
