    Summary

    Reg and Visit are drawn into a mystery at the heart of Ankh Morpork's undead community. Why would a lifelong black-ribboner suddenly try to kill his landlady? And why have his ashes mysteriously disappeared? With the rest of the Watch focused on a threat to the new underground rail network, Reg and Visit will need to work together to solve the case, because if the two of them can't manage to put aside their differences, somebody's going to get away with murder...

    Notes

    The best analysis of Vetinari's character and motivation ever. I had shivers up my spine reading this, and I thoroughly recommend it.

    Summary

    Vetinari has gone and let himself die. Quite naturally too, which is what *really* annoys the commander. And that's just the start of the problems. Now the city needs a new leader, and there's no guarantee it'll go to the best man for the job.

    Summary

    Warnings: Lengthiness. Possible spoilers for Feet of Clay and The Truth.
    Summary: If Vetinari has "no vice that anyone could discover" (Guards! Guards!), at least it could be deduced from the nature of the "cerebral" pleasures (Making Money) he likes to indulge in (not to mention from the nature of his 24/8 preoccupations) that he has a decided interest in control and power relationships. Canon leaves it at that (apart from his fondness for little dogs), but there are distinct ... possibilities in his relationship with his faithful clerk and secretary Rufus Drumknott. Even though they never so much as touch. (While I am all in favour of smut, I like to take a very old-fashioned view of these characters...;-) )
