Another book in the Vimes/City Watch line. Not the best of them, but still very enjoyable. Vimes is dragged forcibly on holiday to the Ramkins' country estate, where (needless to say) he uncovers underhanded doings, criminals, a murder, and the usual sort of Vimes entertainments to keep him busy and interested while on holiday. The book also introduces a new race, the goblins, as well as a couple new characters.

I certainly hope this isn't the last Pratchett book there will be, or the last Vimes book, but if it turns out to be so it's not a bad way to conclude the Vimes saga on an upbeat note.
