Snuff / Terry Pratchett

Snuff: a novel of Discworld by Terry Pratchett. 398 p.

This is a Sam Vimes novel--well, a Watch novel, but much of it is set outside Ankh-Morpork and doesn't involve the rest of the Watch (although we do see some of them). Lady Sybil drags Vimes to the country, so Young Sam can get acquainted with the family estate. As always, Vimes remains an officer of the law no matter where he is. By the end, Sam has learned a bit about country ways, another race has become accepted into Ankh-Morporkian society, and justice has been served.


Some of the character voices here seem a little bit...off. (Not the character actions, just the dialogue. It's hard to pinpoint.) Still a hugely enjoyable book, though. Especially because we see lots of Willikins, the family butler, and he is a delight.
