		If you like mysteries in general, and murder mysteries in particular, then "Feet of Clay" is an offbeat story that you might just enjoy.

		While not Pratchett's best, "Feet of Clay" is a solid mystery/fantasy/commentary with plenty of humor and suspense.

	Feet of Clay (Discworld Novels (Paperback)) - Book
		Feet of Clay is Pratchett's eighteenth Discworld novel and is the third one about the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, commanded by the world-weary and recently elevated Sir Samuel Vimes.
		This gives the author the chance to be satirical (usually in a funny and effective way) at the same time he spins an interesting fantasy yarn---and, incidentally, to spoof cop movies, most notably the "Lethal Weapon" convention of an older policeman on the verge of retiring but faced with just one more case.
		There are plots within plots, wheels within wheels, and dwarfs (including a hilariously named new addition to the Watch), vampires, werewolves, and trolls in the mix as well as humans, actual or dubious (Nobby Nobbs of the watch is nominally human but has been disqualified for shoving).
