Audiobook. 3 hours and 33 minutes. I enjoyed the first Dispatcher book so much that I went straight on to the second in the Dispatcher series. Tony Valdez, licensed dispatcher, kills people who are on the point of death in order to save their lives. (999 times out of 1000, murdered people reappear, naked and alive, in their own beds.) There's a grey area, however, and it pays good money. This is two years on from the events in the first dispatcher story and Valdez is a little down on his luck and taking jobs that are closer to the dark end of the grey area. He's standing in line at his bank to pay in some of his money from a strictly cash job when there's a robbery. The robbers try to get away by shooting each other so they reappear in their own safe space, except that one of them in the one out of a thousand who stays dead… and Tony knows him. Shortly after that, people start to die by suicide (suicides stay dead) and Tony ends up unofficially working with Langdon again, trying to sort it all out before more people die. Well read by Zachary Quinto.Feb. 10th, 2022

Re-read. Equal Rites introduced Granny Weatherwax but this (the second Witches book) brings together Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg (her cat, Greebo) and Magrat Garlick. This is Terry Pratchett affectionate poke at Shakespeare's Macbeth with a side order of Hamlet. The three witches, maiden, mother, crone get involved in politicking when King Verence of Lancre is killed by his ambitious cousin, the Duke of Felmet, and the baby heir to the throne ends up in the care of the coven. Pratchett was a genius and by this sixth Discworld book he'd certainly hit his stride. Highly recommended
