| Review Summary |
The auditors of reality decide the Death of Discworld is becoming too alive, so they "sack" him.
In Ankh-Morpork, Windle Poons dies, but yet he lives.
And what are these little snow globes...?
Damian Perry, Resident Scholar

DEATH IS MISSING - PRESUMED ... ER ... GONE.
Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an inportant public service is withdrawn.
Meanwhile, on a little farm far, far away, a tall dark stranger is turning out to be reall good with a scythe.
The Librarian, Resident Scholar
