The audiobook of Mort is narrated by the BAFTA award-winning actor Sian Clifford (Fleabag; Vanity Fair; Quiz). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.

'You cannot interfere with fate. Who are you to judge who should live and who should die?'

Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job.

Death is the Grim Reaper of the Discworld, a black-robed skeleton with a scythe who ushers souls into the next world. He is also fond of cats and endlessly baffled by humanity.

Soon Death is yearning to experience what humanity really has to offer, but to do that, he'll need to hire some help.

It's an offer Mort can't refuse. As Death's apprentice he'll have free board, use of the company horse - and being dead isn't compulsory.

It's a dream job - until Mort falls in love with Death's daughter, Ysabell, and discovers that your boss can be a killer on your love life . . .

Mort is the first book in the Death series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

Critic Reviews

Pratchett is a comic genius
Pratchett's humour takes logic past the point of absurdity and round again, but it is his unexpected insights into human morality that make the Discworld series stand out
Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy... Pratchett has a subject and a style that is very much his own
He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style

Love all of Terry Pratchett's books. This particular arc is definitely a favourite. I only found the narrator going too fast and some of the lines fell flat. Peter Serafinowic is brilliant as always.

Found the narration too fast.

A taste test for the Death sub-series, and it passed. Mort is the book where Pratchett finally locks into the Discworld tone, that specific blend of absurdity and actual depth that the series becomes known for. Everything after this only gets sharper.

Death himself is the real draw. You catch glimpses of him in the City Watch novels and elsewhere, but this is his proper debut, his first time center stage. He earns it. There is something about the way Pratchett writes him that makes you want more, and more is exactly what I am planning on getting.

The book is short and sweet, which works in its favor. It functions perfectly as a palate cleanser, something to slot between heavier reads when you need a laugh without sacrificing substance. No complaints. I am in for the rest of the Death arc.
