The Well of Lost Plots -- Jasper Fforde

<b>The third novel in the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling Thursday Next series is "great fun--especially for those with a literary turn of mind and a taste for offbeat comedy" (<i>The Washington Post Book World</i>).</b><br><b> </b><br><b>"Delightful . . . the well of Fforde's imagination is bottomless."--<i>People</i></b><br><b><i> </i></b><br><b>"Fforde creates a literary reality that is somewhere amid a triangulation of Douglas Adams, Monty Python, and Miss Marple."--<i>The Denver Post</i></b> <p/>With the 923rd Annual Bookworld Awards just around the corner and an unknown villain wreaking havoc in Jurisfiction, what could possibly be next for Detective Thursday Next? <p/>Protecting the world's greatest literature--not to mention keeping up with Miss Havisham--is tiring work for an expectant mother. And Thursday can definitely use a respite. So what better hideaway than inside the unread and unreadable <i>Caversham Heights</i>, a clich?-ridden pulp mystery in the hidden depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside? <p/>But peace and quiet remain elusive for Thursday, who soon discovers that the Well itself is a veritable linguistic free-for-all, where grammasites run rampant, plot devices are hawked on the black market, and lousy books--like <i>Caversham Heights</i>--are scrapped for salvage. To top it off, a murderer is stalking Jurisfiction personnel and nobody is safe--least of all Thursday. <p/><b>Don't miss any of Jasper Fforde's delightfull
