But this is Discworld, where nothing goes as planned--and hilarious adventure ensues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt long last, Lady Sybil has lured her husband, Sam Vimes, on a well-deserved and long-overdue holiday. But for the commander of the City Watch, a vacation in the country is anything but relaxing. The balls, the teas, the muck--not to mention all that fresh air and birdsong--are more than a bit taxing on a cynical city-born and -bred copper facing a classic countryside mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe policeman is back on familiar ground in this compelling fantasy mystery when a body is found--the first of many, many corpses--and an ancient crime involving the local goblins is uncovered. Out of his jurisdiction, out of his element, and out of bacon sandwiches (thanks to his well-meaning wife)--Sam must rely on his copper's instincts, guile, and Ankh-Morpork street smarts to see justice done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs he sets off on the chase, though, he must remember to watch where he steps. . . . This is the countryside, after all, and the streets most definitely are not paved with gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Snuff is the 8th book in the City Watch collection and the 39th Discworld book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe City Watch series in order: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuards!
