Is Terry Pratchett a good comedy writer? Yup. Will I read any other book? Probably not. Why? Because reasons (mainly the difficulty with wich I read this book because it hasn't heard of chapters)
I have trouble believing that Terry Pratchett actually wrote this book. Characterizations are very cardboardy. Simply isn't as well organized.

I miss Discworld as soon as I leave it, especially when I get there through the audiobook. The dialect work required of any actor entering Discworld is extensive. In this case, Stephen Briggs is a genius.
This story follows Sam Vimes to the country on vacation, but a copper is always a copper. It doesn't matter really. The story rips along with wry satire and heartbreaking honesty, as do all of Pratchett's books. I'm thankful there are scores left to listen to.

Solid Terry Pratchett. Several laugh-out-loud-while-you're-alone type moments!
This is STPs 50th book and the second, or possibly third, time I've read it since it was published. I always enjoyed the Watch books, the individual characters develop over the course of the novels, and the descriptions are always enjoyable. STPs wit and wisdom infuse his work and characters, making Discworld a joy to read for readers of any age.
In Snuff, Sam Vimes, Lady Sybil and Young Sam (6) take a holiday to the Ramkin country estate. Sam is not happy about leaving Ankh-Morpork and the City Watch, but Lady Sybil (and Lord Vetinari) have decreed he deserves a break. Unfortunately, where policemen go, so goeth crime.
And Sam managed to find a crime. While Young Sam is becoming the world expert on animal poo, a young goblin woman is murdered, and Sir Sam is drawn into investigating. But goblins are vermin, not people, so what crime has been committed?
Back in Ankh-Morpork, Fred Colon goes to visit his friend the tobacconist. His cigar is singing. and then something even stranger happens. Fred gets sick. The Watch have to investigate, and consult with a few goblins working for Harry King. When Wee Mad Arthur goes in search of answers, he finds an even greater crime in Howandaland.
And somehow it's all connected to Gravid Rust's attack on the goblin hill on the Ramkin estate.
There are river and sea chases, goblin halls, and poo.
