Description
The eighteenth Discworld novel and the fifth in the Witches series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans.
'There's a kind of magic in masks. Masks conceal one face, but they reveal another. The one that only comes out in darkness . . .'
The Opera House in Ankh-Morpork is home to music, theatrics and a harmless masked Ghost who lurks behind the scenes. But now a set of mysterious backstage murders may just stop the show.
Agnes Nitt has left her rural home of Lancre in the hopes of launching a successful singing career in the big city. The only problem is, she doesn't quite look the part. And there are two witches who would much rather she return home to join their coven.
Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg have travelled to Ankh-Morpork to convince Agnes that life as a witch is much better than one on the stage. Only now they're caught up in a murder mystery featuring masks and maniacal laughter.
And the show MUST go on . . .
'A master storyteller' A. S. Byatt
'Funny, delightfully inventive, and refuses to lie down in its genre' Observer
Maskerade is the fifth book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Maskerade is praised for its incredible humour and compulsive readability. The dialogue is cracking, the illogic compelling, and the whimsical narrative unchained, highlighting Pratchett's unique style and subject matter. If you haven't yet delved into a Discworld novel, some wonder what is stopping you.

About the Author
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any. www.terrypratchettbooks.com
