Join me on a read through of Discworld! Today we're looking at the sixteenth book, Soul Music, one of the Death novels.

Death is grieving! He's abandoned his post and has begun a soul-searching adventure. Meanwhile his granddaughter Susan is chosen to take his place. Yet Susan must take the life of the Discworld's first rockstar, Buddy! The power of rock is taking the world by storm, and music will never be the same again.
