About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.
Winner of the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Fiction
'The jurisdiction of a good man extends to the end of the world.'
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.
Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is on holiday in the pleasant and innocent countryside, but not for him a mere body in the wardrobe. There are many, many bodies - and an ancient crime more terrible than murder.
He is out of his jurisdiction, out of his depth, out of bacon sandwiches; and out of his mind. But never out of guile. Where there is a crime there must be a punishment.
They say that in the end all sins are forgiven.
Vimes is about to uncover the exception.
The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but Snuff is the eighth book in the City Watch series.
'Snuff is entertaining, with all Pratchett's genius on display' Sunday Express

Another winner from the master of serious humour
The storyline is justifiably fun and clever well written and narrated, the vivid details of somewhere slightly gross and disturbing but familiar makes it so entertaining

Gripping!
The narrator brings Commander Sir Samuel Vimes to life and Willikins was a revelation. A ‘Must Listen’ for Pratchett fans.

Brilliant Narration
Jon Culshaw is a master of voices and brings Terry’s book to life. Had me hooked from beginning to end.

Excellent
This is an excellent story with Pratchett at his best. The performance significantly enhances the book, so that even readers familiar with the story can enjoy the retelling. Highly recommended!

Policeman's Holiday
Once more Sir Samuel Vimes travels on holiday ordered by the highest authority, Lady Sybil and finds, as per usual, that crime has gotten there first! Whilst Young Sam discovers the fascinating world of poo, his father uncovers a slave trade, a drug trade and a hideous murder. Intelligently funny, satirical and action packed! Well worth the 5 stars I've given.

Return of the Dark!
Wonderful, gritty and still absolutely hilarious. Vimes back in action and honestly I love it. It’s a fitting last book for he commander. Vimes and Sybil are a true match made in heaven and she is so kick ass. Young Sam is awesome and honestly TP has done it again. I don’t think there’s been a book about Vimes where I haven’t cried at the beautiful writing and sensitive attention to detail of the character.

Another brilliant adventure
Having listened to the audio books in order, it has been interesting to see how the mindset of Vines has evolved and the way he has dealt with his inner turmoil.
Another excellent piece of enjoyable escapism!

Wonderful To Make Your Escape With!
I grew up stealing Discworld books from my brother, so I could read them in a day and put them back quickly! This audio rendition of Snuff gave me the voice of Sam Vimes, exactly how I’d imagined it. Exactly! Does anyone realise how bloody weird that is? Are you imagining it? For me, it’s even weirder than that! Mainly because of my insane crush on the fictional Commander. Ugh! Why are all the good men married, fictional or hiding something? In Sam Vime’s case, he’s all three! But I couldn’t and wouldn’t compete with Sybil…because she is lovely, perfect for Sam and also fictional, so it all makes sense. I would get out more, but then I’d have to leave my beloved Discworld and…‘people’ in a foul place called ‘reality’! People TALK to you! Even though you avoid eye contact and have bright turquoise coloured ear buds in…yap, yap, yap! Anyways, dear potential listeners, it’s worth your credit or hard earned pennies! Read the book too. It’s all worth it!!!
