The Woman Who Died a Lot - Paperback

by Jasper Fforde (Author)

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Ex-detective Thursday Next faces her trickiest assignment yet in the seventh novel of this renowned series, "[a] bibliophile's Wonderland" (The Plain Dealer).

"It's safe to say that if you enjoy that particularly British, Douglas Adams-style absurd delivery of wry observations, you'll get a kick out of [The Woman Who Died a Lot]."--New York Journal of Books

Thursday Next, the Bookworld's leading enforcement officer, has been forced into semiretirement following an assassination attempt. When her former SpecOps division is reinstated, she assumes she's the obvious choice to lead the Literary Detectives. Sadly, our banged-up heroine is no spring chicken, and her old boss has a cushier job in mind: Chief Librarian of the Swindon All-You-Can-Eat-at-Fatso's Drink Not Included Library.

But where Thursday goes, trouble follows. As the new Chief Librarian faces 100 percent budget cuts and trouble from the ever-evil Jack Schitt, the Next children face their own career hiccups--and possible nonexistence.
