The third novel in the New York Times bestselling Thursday Next series is "great fun--especially for those with a literary turn of mind and a taste for offbeat comedy" (The Washington Post Book World).
"Delightful . . . the well of Fforde's imagination is bottomless."--People
"Fforde creates a literary reality that is somewhere amid a triangulation of Douglas Adams, Monty Python, and Miss Marple."--The Denver Post With the 923rd Annual Bookworld Awards just around the corner and an unknown villain wreaking havoc in Jurisfiction, what could possibly be next for Detective Thursday Next? Protecting the world's greatest literature--not to mention keeping up with Miss Havisham--is tiring work for an expectant mother. And Thursday can definitely use a respite. So what better hideaway than inside the unread and unreadable Caversham Heights, a cliché-ridden pulp mystery in the hidden depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside? But peace and quiet remain elusive for Thursday, who soon discovers that the Well itself is a veritable linguistic free-for-all, where grammasites run rampant, plot devices are hawked on the black market, and lousy books--like Caversham Heights--are scrapped for salvage. To top it off, a murderer is stalking Jurisfiction personnel and nobody is safe--least of all Thursday. Don't miss any of Jasper Fforde's delightfully entertaining Thursday Next novels:
