48. Maskerade by Terry Pratchett
With every book featuring them, I enjoy Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg more. They're hilarious. In this book, the two witches have decided to travel to Ank Morpork to find Agnes, a girl from their village who they believe should join them as a third witch. Agnes, who is a very large girl with a beautiful voice and loads of common sense has gone to the city to join the opera. Yes, there are shades of the Phantom of the Opera in this story, but so funny. Opera characters are strange even by Discworld standards. There are some murders which Granny and Nanny help to solve and they are able to make their pitch to Agnes. I'm not sure if she changes her career, maybe in another book. I surely hope to read more about the witches as they have really grown on me. Rating: 4.75
