Overview: 

The third installment in Jasper Fforde's New York Times bestselling series follows literary detective Thursday

Next on another adventure in her alternate reality of literature-obsessed England

Jasper Fforde has done it again in this genre-bending blend of crime fiction, fantasy, and top-drawer literary

entertainment. After two rollicking New York Times bestselling adventures through Western literature, resourceful

BookWorld literary detective Thursday Next definitely needs some downtime. And what better place for a respite

than in the hidden depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside? But peace and quiet remain

elusive for Thursday, who soon discovers that the Well is a veritable linguistic free-for-all, where grammasites run

rampant, plot devices are hawked on the black market, and lousy books--like the one she has taken up residence in--

are scrapped for salvage. To make matters worse, a murderer is stalking the personnel of Jurisfiction and it's up to

Thursday to save the day. A brilliant feat of literary showmanship filled with wit, fantasy, and effervescent originality,

this Ffordian tour de force will appeal to fans of Douglas Adams and P. G. Wodehouse. Thursday's zany investigations

continue with Something Rotten.
