'Sorry?' said Carrot. If it's just a thing, how can it commit murder? A sword is a thing' - he drew his own sword; it made an almost silken sound - 'and of course you can't blame a sword if someone thrust it at you, sir.'

For Commander Vimes, Head of Ankh-Morpork City Watch, life consists of troubling times, linked together by...well, more troubling times.

Right now, it's the latter. There's a werewolf with pre-lunar tension in the city, and a dwarf with attitude and a golem who's begun to think for itself, but that's just ordinary trouble. The real problem is more puzzling - people are being murdered, but there's no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene.

So Vimes not only has to find out whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not even sure what they dun. But soon as he knows what the questions are, he's going to want some answers.

The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but Feet of Clay is the third book in the City Watch series.

Experty read, one of Discworlds most exciting stories

The Discworld books are full of wisdom and humour. This is one of the lost exciting, intriguing ones. Absolutely expertly read.

Pratchett at his best

The Watch is the best discworld series and Feet of Clay may just be the best Watch book. A clever story full of twists and wit. The performances are fantastic, even giving life to characters I found uninteresting when I read the series years ago. You can’t go wrong with Pratchett.

Wonderful narration for a wonderful story

A great mystery, a powerful message, and delightful humor. I will never get tired of hearing Sergeant Detritus’s voice done this way.

The voices are great

Needs chapter announcement in text so you’re not wondering who is the narrator and what is the viewpoint. Otherwise an excellent example of Pratchetts art.

It’s so true

Another masterpiece. You can hear and feel it, the truths of this universe reflected in the one that he writes into life.
Powerful, insightful, relevant, real.

Thanks again, Terry.

Always fantastic

Terry Pratchett somehow speaks deeply about relevant issues while maintaining brilliant humor and entertainment in all of his books.

Performance lacks Pratchett’s quick-witted energy

Every character performed as world-weary, exhausted, and in urgent need of a hug and a nap.

Anticipating AI and workers rights with trademark hilarity

I had only listened to the abridged version of the story. So glad to have the full story now. I found myself wishing for Michael Briggs as narrator, but I wrap pretty good. Except The way this narrator plays Angua sounds simpering. Otherwise, it doesn’t get in the way of the story.

another instant classic from Pratchett

The storyline, the narration, and the energy put into this audiobook reading is a phenomenal combination. Whether you've never read a Pratchett novel or if you know every book by heart, this is one the whole family will cherish.

One of my favorites

Personhood, agency, copper shenanigans, intrigue, punching authorities in the face, common people, theological debate, golems, werewolves, gender, it’s got everything you could want in a story and then some!
