Jasper Fforde has done it again in this genre-bending blend
of crime fiction, fantasy, and top-drawer literary
entertainment. After two rollicking New York Times
bestselling adventures through Western literature,
resourceful literary detective Thursday Next definitely
needs some downtime. And what better place for a respite
than 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all unpublished books reside?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 is a
veritable linguistic free-for-all, where grammasites run
rampant, plot devices are hawked on the black market, and
lousy books—like the one she has taken up residence in—are
scrapped for salvage. To make matters worse, a murderer is
stalking the personnel of Jurisfiction and it’s up to
Thursday to save the day. A brilliant feat of literary
showmanship filled with wit, fantasy, and effervescent
originality, this Ffordian tour de force is the most
exciting Thursday Next adventure yet.
