Death goes walk-about and tries everything, including joining the French Foreign Legion, to forget a tragic carriage accident at dead man's curve. His independent-minded teen granddaughter has to surreptitiously take over the reaping biz. Three guys invent music with rocks in it or did the magick in this music invent them? Is time changing or - déjà vu all over again- is it rushing to a new tragedy on Dead Man's Curve?

This book, just as the other two in the city watch series, was a wonderful read. The humor is on point, the language creative, the twists entertaining and the characters keep on getting better and better with every book that explores them and describes them grow both in number and in depth. If you ever grow tired with fantasy or crime novels just read this series. No, just read this series, it's such a great one you really don't need reasons to.
Eines meiner Lieblings-Scheibenwelt-Bücher bisher (habe noch nicht alle gelesen)
Pratchett spielt wunderbar mit den ganzen Fantasy-Klischees, und dazu noch ein spannender Krimi.
