"Thud", by Terry Pratchett
The latest in the Discworld series, this installment sees tensions rising in Ankh Morpork between dwarfs and trolls as the anniversary of an ancient battle looms. Vimes has to keep the peace - but he also has to contend with a murder, a missing painting (which is reputed to contain a hidden secret about the battle), a vampire recruit to the Watch, the fact that Sybil is trying to get him to sit for a portrait, and that he needs to be home for 6pm every night without fail to read 'Where's My Cow' to his baby son.As ever, this book is a great read, although possibly not the funniest of the series - feels at times a little too much like he's trying to crowbar in a Message about war and immigrants and so forth. However, still miles better and cleverer and funnier than any potential rivals.

I'm a serious TP fan and as usual I felt this book managed to hit all the right spots. Particually loving the Blackberry/iTunes/Bluetooth references.
