Maskerade (Discworld Novel 18)

The eighteenth Discworld novel and the fifth in the Witches series - revamped with a fresh bold look targeting a new generation of fantasy fans. ´There´s a kind of magic in masks. Masks conceal one face, but they reveal another. The one that only comes out in darkness . . .´ The Opera House in Ankh-Morpork is home to music, theatrics and a harmless masked Ghost who lurks behind the scenes. But now a set of mysterious backstage murders may just stop the show. Agnes Nitt has left her rural home of Lancre in the hopes of launching a successful singing career in the big city. The only problem is, she doesn´t quite look the part. And there are two witches who would much rather she return home to join their coven. Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg have travelled to Ankh-Morpork to convince Agnes that life as a witch is much better than one on the stage. Only now they´re caught up in a murder mystery featuring masks and maniacal laughter. And the show MUST go on . . . ´A master storyteller´ A. S. Byatt ´Funny, delightfully inventive, and refuses to lie down in its genre´ Observer Maskerade is the fifth book in the Witches series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.
