Read a sample Read a sample
“Prepare to be delighted” (Time) with the fourth novel in the New York Times bestselling Thursday Next series, a totally original, action-packed romp through the alternate reality of literature-obsessed England.

“Infused with humor and extraordinary inventiveness . . . [Something Rotten] is worth reading for anyone with an insatiable appetite for cleverness.”—Los Angeles Times
 
It’s back to reality for Detective Thursday Next—and fiction never looked so good.
 
Thursday has had her fill of her responsibilities as the Bellman in Jurisfiction. Packing up her son, Friday, Thursday returns to Swindon accompanied by none other than the dithering Danish prince Hamlet. But returning to SpecOps is no snap—as outlaw fictioneer Yorrick Kaine plots for absolute power, the return of Swindon’s patron saint foretells doom, and if that isn’t bad enough, back in the Book World The Merry Wives of Windsor is becoming entangled with Hamlet.
 
Can Thursday find a Shakespeare clone to stop this hostile takeover? Can she vanquish Kaine and prevent the world from plunging into war? And, most important, will she ever find reliable childcare?
