Books like Snuff by Terry Pratchett
In the Discworld city of Ankh-Morpork, the City Watch commander Sam Vimes is gifted a holiday by Lady Sybil, hoping to escape the endless grime of his duty. The escape, however, proves far from peaceful. The pastoral setting offers little respite for a seasoned copper; the serene summersweet grass, ball games and tea parties hide an unexpected crime. Vimes’s instincts, guile and street smarts are put to the test as he investigates a fresh body, re‑examining the nature of justice, class, prejudice and punishment beyond the city limits. As he pursues the culprit, Vimes learns that a countryside bounty can be as corrupt and unforgiving as the urban streets he knows so well.
