One of Our Thursdays is Missing (Thursday Next, #6)
(fantasy)
It is a time of unrest in the BookWorld. Only the diplomatic skills of
ace literary detective Thursday Next can avert a devastating genre war.
But a week before the peace talks, Thursday vanishes. Has she simply
returned home to the RealWorld or is this something more sinister?
All
is not yet lost. Living at the quiet end of speculative fiction is the
written Thursday Next, eager to prove herself worth of her illustrious
namesake.
The written Thursday is soon hot on the trail of her
factual alter-ego, and quickly stumbles upon a plot so fiendish that it
threatens the very BookWorld itself.
