oh terry, how much i miss you, i have reread this book (and every discworld book) so many times, it is now such a comfort. Vimes is such a great character on so many levels and this book just added wonderfully to his complex character. This is such a great story and will have you so engaged throughout

I have watched the play live in a theatre based on this.
There are a few limitations but it was brilliant laugh all the way through.
