One of Our Thursdays Is Missing

Literary detective's whimsical, metafictional Genre War mystery.

If you delight in clever, genre-bending narratives with a healthy dose of literary wit, "One of Our Thursdays is Missing" offers a joyful romp through an alternate reality where books are quite literally alive. Jasper Fforde crafts a world that celebrates and satirizes classic literature, making this a must-read for anyone with a passion for both detective tales and the power of the written word. It's a smart, fun ride through a well-loved series that both challenges and entertains.

Description

The sixth 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. Dazzlingly funny and imaginative, Jasper Fforde's books have won him the affection of readers, reviewers, and booksellers alike. Fans can breathe a sigh of relief because Thursday Next—or at least one of her—is back. At a time of great unrest in the BookWorld, only the ace literary detective can avert a devastating Genre War—thing is, Thursday has vanished. Now the written Thursday must answer the call, save the Bookworld, evade capture, and find the actual Thursday! With a clockwork Butler in tow, and Men in Plaid as well as her Designated Love Interest in pursuit, she must reluctantly agree to journey up the mysterious Metaphoric River for answers.
