'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 read in any order but Feet of Clay is the third book in the City Watch series.

Critic reviews

'The work of a prolific humorist at his best'

'Like most true originals, Pratchett defies categorisation...Deliciously and amiably dotty...Driven by Swiftian logic and equally intellectually inventive'

'Fantastical, inventive and finally serious...It's enjoyable as crime fiction, but the real attraction is the laughter waiting to be uncovered on each page'

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.

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.

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.

Great Story

this audiobook is funny and well read. I love the voices and humor. Terry Pratchet is such a good author!

Frighteningly relevant, almost feels like it was written yesterday

This is a story about how often the little guy gets crushed under the thumb of the people with power, and someone standing up to them. Sir Terry Pratchett wrote with piercing wit and great humor, and the performance of Jon Culshaw makes it hit like a sledgehammer. A must-have for any library.
