Mystery

Something Rotten

by Jasper Fforde · Thursday Next series

Thursday returns to a Swindon overrun by clones, time-traveling fathers, and a suspicious death that requires her particular blend of literary detective work. Fforde weaves Hamlet, corporate malfeasance, and domestic life into a plot that refuses to stay in one genre. Shakespeare meets speculative satire, and neither emerges unchanged.
