Snuff by Terry Pratchett
3.0
This Discworld novel started off a little slow, Vimes wondering around in the country out of his depth was a little aimless. But what does a lost copper need? A case with a chase, it is was Commander Sam Vimes, Black Board Monitor Vimes does best.
There were some spectacular Vimes moments, flashes of Pratchett's brilliance. A brilliant fisticuff's scene, a run away boat chase, and the usual brilliant Vimes and Vetinari conversations. Vimes is very much a Sherlock character, always a head of the game, some times he is not aware of it.
I love the notion of if you have the ability and have to beg for your life, it is murder. And how the law just follows Vimes around, no matter where he goes, it is an independent substance, he can fit in his pocket.
The Discworld novels are quant, cute, brilliant, funny, smirkingley good, and oh did I say brilliant.
