Commander Sam Vimes (do not make the mistake of calling him by his married title of Duke!) is back with is fabulous coppers on the City Watch, along with a both an inspector who has come to see if the larger watch is worth the money, and the first vampire lance-constable. Murder and mayhem are not only once more the (dis)order of the day, but trouble is brewing more than ever between trolls and dwarfs as the annual Koom Valley day approaches. This was the day of a historic battle between trolls and dwarfs--long time enemies. But what is worse is that there are some new dwarfs in town tunneling under the city and bad things are going on down there. On the surface, things aren't so hot, either.

I tend to like these books more as I go along in the City Watch series, but also as I have finally learned to read them in a shorter space of time to fit with the pacing of the book. I even laugh out loud at times, and that isn't so easy to do. One of my favourite features in this book is the updated imp run reminder device, the Dis-Organizer Mark five Gooseberry™ that is finally useful, but you can't know how without reading the book.
