Lost in a Good Book

Thursday Next Book 2

By: Jasper Fforde

Narrated by: Gabrielle Kruger

Thursday Next, literary detective and newlywed, is back to embark on an adventure that begins, quite literally on her own doorstep. It seems that Landen, her husband of four weeks, actually drowned in an accident when he was two years old. Someone, somewhere, sometime, is responsible. The sinister Goliath Corporation wants its operative Jack Schitt out of the poem in which Thursday trapped him, and it will do almost anything to achieve this - but bribing the ChronoGuard? Is that possible?



Having barely caught her breath after The Eyre Affair, Thursday must battle corrupt politicians, try to save the world from extinction, and help the Neanderthals to species self-determination. Mastadon migrations, journeys into Just William, a chance meeting with the Flopsy Bunnies, and violent life-and-death struggles in the summer sales are all part of a greater plan.



But whose? and why?

Fast paced and out of the ordinary

Be sure to read “the Jane Erye” affair first! Fforde has a fast paced style in this wild mix of spy vs spy, alternative reality England where anything is possible book- he does well with weaving all his plotlines together. This particular book ends on quite a cliffhanger.

Another Great Ffordian Tale

A great narrator for an immersive narrative by an exceptional novelist! Jasper Fforde never disappoints.
