The Woman Who Died a Lot

Thursday Next Book 7

By: Jasper Fforde

Narrated by: Gabrielle Kruger

The BookWorld's leading enforcement officer Thursday Next is four months into an enforced semi-retirement following an assassination attempt. She returns home to Swindon for what you'd expect to be a time of recuperation. If only life were that simple.

Thursday is faced with an array of family problems - son Friday's lack of focus since his career in the Chronoguard was relegated to a might-have-been, daughter Tuesday's difficulty perfecting the Anti-Smote shield needed to thwart an angry Deity's promise to wipe Swindon off the face of the earth, and Jenny, who doesn't exist.

And that's not all. With Goliath attempting to replace Thursday at every opportunity with synthetic Thursdays, the prediction that Friday's Destiny-Aware colleagues will die in mysterious circumstances, and a looming meteorite that could destroy all human life on earth, Thursday's retirement is going to be anything but easy.

Another brilliant Thursday Next book

Would you consider the audio edition of The Woman Who Died a lot to be better than the print version?

I have visual problems now, so Audible has given me the gift of books again. The narrator is good and a most enjoyable read.

What other book might you compare The Woman Who Died a lot to and why?

The Jasper Fforde books are 'one out of the box'! They have a great deal of literary knowledge in them, are a lot of fun with some wonderful plays on words.

What about Gabrielle Kruger’s performance did you like?

Gabrielle Kruger has a great, laid back approach to reading Thursday Next that enhances the character and story.

Any additional comments?

A most enjoyable listen/read. Thank You!

This series only gets better

Loved it. I was reading it for the fourth time or so and the plot still managed to surprise me.
