Snuff

Number 39 in the Discworld series and a Vimes book - I love Vimes! The usual enjoyable mix of social commentary and humour; "it is a truth universally acknowledged that a policeman taking a holiday would barely have had time to open his suitcase before he finds his first corpse". Not subtle in how it approaches racism, justice and class barriers but I'm OK with that - I'm also sad that a little girl had to die for this story to have a plot (it seems like they have to do that a lot, little girls that is) I'm less OK with that :(

I do really enjoy the characteristic footnotes and I'm hoping we eventually get to an ebook standard that can display them well.
