I love the Discworld series overall and this is a particularly good one. Witches! Makes fun of opera! Foreshadows musicals! This would be a good place to dive into the series, even if you don’t read any other books.

Phantom of the Opera parody that works as it fits into the world of the Witches so well... also feels almost like a Watch novel with the murder mystery aspect. Another solid entry

Very funny, it's a nice detective in a strange world. Less weird then what I am used to from Pratchett though
funny medium-paced

“Nanny's philosophy of life was to do what seemed like a good idea at the time, and do it as hard as possible. It had never let her down.”

The audio is amazing!
I stalled out around 50% and struggled to maintain attention.
Will try again with reading with my eyes.

L'arrivée des sorcières à Ankh-Morpok et la réécriture du fantôme de l'opéra auraient été plus sympa sans les remarques incessantes concernant le physique de l'héroïne...
