The Woman Who Died A Lot Av Jasper Fforde

<p><b>The seventh book in the phenomenally successful <i>Thursday Next</i> series by Number One bestselling author Jasper Fforde. </b><br><br><b>'Fans of the late Douglas Adams, or, even, Monty Python, will feel at home with Fforde' - <i>Herald</i><br></b><br>The BookWorld's leading enforcement officer Thursday Next is four months into an enforced semi-retirement following an assassination attempt. She returns home to Swindon for what you'd expect to be a time of recuperation. If only life were that simple. <br><br>Thursday is faced with an array of family problems - son Friday's lack of focus since his career in the Chronoguard was relegated to a might-have-been, daughter Tuesday's difficulty perfecting the Anti-Smote shield needed to thwart an angry Deity's promise to wipe Swindon off the face of the earth, and Jenny, who doesn't exist. And that's not all. <br><br>With Goliath attempting to replace Thursday at every opportunity with synthetic Thursdays, the prediction that Friday's Destiny-Aware colleagues will die in mysterious circumstances, and a looming meteorite that could destroy all human life on earth, Thursday's retirement is going to be anything but easy . . .</p>
