En general, descubrir a los responsables de un homicidio en Mundodisco no cuesta demasiado. Lo que intriga al comandante Vimes es que las inusuales muertes de tres venerables AnkhMorphokianos no llevan la impronta del Gremio de los Asesinos. Todo apunta, en cambio, hacia los apacibles Golems. Natt90 | Feb 13, 2023 | Discworld 19  SueJBeard | Jan 8, 2023 | This is for the audio CD version of Feet of Clay: Commander Sir Samuel Vine's opinion of an unnamed (because, of course, he isn't part of Discworld literature), person who is obviously Sherlock Holmes is given early on CD six. Sam has a good point. (  ) JalenV | Oct 10, 2022 | I liked this one a bit more than “Men at Arms” so it seems like I like the City Watch more with every book. I really liked the themes addressed in this one, especially the gollems plot and the one with the new member of the watch. In this Discworld entry we are following the Watch as they are trying to find who is behind the murders and the poisoning of the patrician Vetinari. There is no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene, which leaves the city police wandering if a weapon can be blamed for murder. I really liked how gender was addressed with the introduction of Cheery, a dwarf and new member of the City Watch. I really liked her bond with Angua. They are probably my favourite members of the Watch now. This book also made me like Sam Vimes more. The themes about the creation of life and who deserves rights addressed through the gollems’ plot were also really good and my favourite part of the book. The bible references were a nice touch. Once again the matters of prejudice are addressed not only about the gollems, but also about werewolves. It was also nice to see one more vampire and Ridcully again. Acceptance of differences and commentary about social class seem to be the big themes in the City Watch series and I love that. I have been enjoying each book more than the former so I hope that continues. I think I should have read this one instead of listening to the audiobook. Even though I liked the narrator, Nigel Planer, some of the voices weren’t the best and how I would associate a character sounds like. I plan to buy the paperback and reread it that way in the future and maybe I would like it even more. ( ) elderlingfae | Aug 11, 2022 |
 Feet of Clay is another in the sub-series of books about the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. It involves golems, and murder, and an assassination plot, and the Watch's new forensic alchemist, and the rightful king, and the problems of being a vegetarian werewolf. It manages to be both a fine fantasy and a unique police procedural, with some cogent things to say about the human urge for kings. And it is almost continuously hilarious. It is difficult to say anything else about this book without sounding like a jacket blurb. Let us simply note that Pratchett performs to his usual standard.
It's murder in Discworld! -- which ordinarily is no big deal. But what bothers Watch Commander Sir Sam Vimes is that the unusual deaths of three elderly Ankh-Morporkians do not bear the clean, efficient marks of the Assassins' Guild. An apparent lack of any motive is also quitetroubling. All Vimes has are some tracks of white clay and more of those bothersome "clue" things that only serve to muck up an investigation. The anger of a fearful populace is already being dangerously channeled toward the city's small community of golems -- the mindless, absurdlyindustrious creatures of baked clay who can occasionally be found toiling in the city's factories. And certain highly placed personages are using the unrest as an excuse to resurrect a monarchy -- which would be bad enough even if the "king" they were grooming wasn't as empty-headed as your typical animated pottery.
