Sam Vimes lives for being a copper, but Lady Sybil demands that he take a vacation and thus city-born and bred Vimes heads out into the countryside away from the action. Snuff is the 39th book of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series as well the eighth and final book of feature the Watch of Ankh-Morpo...
Snuff was the 8th and final novel in the Watch subseries of Discworld. Vimes reluctantly goes off on a “vacation” to the country with his family. His impressions of the country, having spent all his life in the city of Ankh-Morpork, are amusing, and naturally he manages to find a mystery to solve ...
The sparks just didn't fly this time for several reasons: One is that I love the City Watch somewhat more than Vimes. Don't get me wrong: I adore Vimes but I love the cast of characters in them. All of them. So seeing most of them only for one or two scenes was disappointing. Then there's the simple...
Mr Pratchett greatly undervalues the importance of chapter breaks, if only so I know where to stop for the night. So Vimes' wife has convinced the Patrician to send him off on vacation. The last time Vimes left the city, he got sucked into a mess in Uberwald. And now, he's visiting the family seat...

I go through different stages of Pratchettism throughout my life. Sometimes I can't do without Death, other times, I love the witches more than anything else. Then I've got to have my wizards. Lower down on the rung of things, I disliked the Night Watch more than I've ever disliked anything in Discw...
Pratchett somehow manages to take an allegory about race and prejudice, set it in a corner of his medieval Discworld that's straight out of Jane Austen, and wrap it in a rollicking Sam Vimes adventure. Fabulous.
