Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The audiobook of Snuff is narrated by impressionist and actor Jon Culshaw, best known for BBC Radio 4’s Dead Ringers, and for the Doctor Who audiobooks and dramas. BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'THE JURISDICTION OF A GOOD MAN EXTENDS TO THE END OF THE WORLD.'

Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is having some time off. Apparently.

But crime doesn't take a break - it's a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman on holiday would barely have time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse.

In the seemingly peaceful countryside, Vimes discovers much more than a body in the wardrobe. For the local nobles are hiding a deep, dark secret. There are many, many bodies - and an ancient atrocity more terrible than murder.

Vimes is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth and out of his mind. But never out of ideas. Where there is a crime there must be a punishment.

They say that in the end all sins are forgiven. This might be the exception ...

Snuff is the eighth book in the City Watch series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.

The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Critic Reviews

'As effortlessly, generously funny as only Pratchett can be, Snuff doesn't stint on laying bare the darker side of life either' Sunday Times

Another sensational audiobook

Snuff is one of my favourite STP stories and I was delighted with the way it was performed, the voice acting was fantastic yet again, and I loved the way the goblins were portrayed with their crackly voices. Also John Culshaw does the best Sam Vimes voice, he really breathes life into the characters and it's a joy to listen to.

the new narrators are a bit jarring

this voice work isn't as good as Nigel's work, but the story is still top notch. very sad that Terry won't be bring us any more stories.
