I always enjoy the Guards novels, and this is no exception. I think, though, that my favourite part of this didn't have anything to do with Vetinari or Vimes or the Golem. No, it's the BFF relationship developing between Angua and Cheery Littlebottom, sole member of the brand new forensic science department of the City Watch, that's the most entertaining part of this. There are a few species misunderstandings to get through (werewolves and dwarves not being natural companions) but still. Cheery's desire to throw off the gold-singing, hammer-wielding, boring-clothes masculinity of dwarf life and throw herself into lipsticks and welded-on high heels, and Angua's solid support of her choices, really brings these two outsiders together.
