Bright spots were Detritus, Cuddy, and the Via Cloaca. And of course with Pratchett there were plenty of laugh out loud moments, like the Librarian playing the organ. Still, a rare dud from one of my favourite authors.

I did feel like there was a bit much going on in this book, and not all of it got its due (Angua could have had a bit more flesh hung on her personality, imho, and it would have been nice to hear what Carrot actually thought about some of the stuff that was verbally danced around at the end), but overall this was a wonderful book with a great mix of detectiveing, lovable characters, and earnest, good-hearted poking-of-fun-and-sharp-sticks at -isms and hypocrisy.
Moderate: Animal death
