Rezensionen
'Funny, wise and mock heroic...The funniest and best crafted book I have read all year'
Sunday Express
"[An] always entertaining. . . hysterically funny series." - Kirkus Reviews

"Pratchett skewers the hard-boiled detective novel as effectively as he's satired fantasy fiction all these years. . . . The dialogue is hilarious, and Pratchett's take on affirmative action is a whole lot of fun. . . . As usual, Pratchett provides enough bad-tempered clowns, bloodthirsty trolls and dogs with low self-esteem to keep readers entertained." - Publishers Weekly
