Literary sleuth Thursday Next is back to save literature in the fifth installment of Jasper Fforde's beloved series. Renowned for his imaginative storytelling, satirical wit, and humor, Fforde has captivated readers since Thursday's debut in The Eyre Affair. With two successful books in the Nursery Crime series, Fforde continues the adventures of his iconic character in this highly anticipated sequel, which surpasses expectations. Now, fourteen years after Thursday's last escapade at the 1988 SuperHoop, her son Friday has become a challenging sixteen-year-old. However, Thursday faces even greater challenges: Sherlock Holmes is murdered at the Rheinback Falls, halting his series, and shortly after, Miss Havisham dies in a car accident, ending her narrative. When Thursday receives a death threat meant for her written self, she uncovers a serial killer wreaking havoc in the Bookworld. Adding to her troubles, the Goliath Corporation is attempting to deregulate book travel. To confront these escalating dangers, Thursday must journey to the outer limits of narrative possibilities. Filled with clever wordplay, quirky subplots, and suspense, her return promises to delight both devoted fans and critics who have celebrated Fforde's unique literary universe since the beginning.
