I LOVED the death cameo in there, where Carrot questions Death as a murder witness! And Captain Vimes has a great quote - he longs for logic on the discworld like somebody longs for ice in a desert - would be amazing, but just doesn't fit into this world. 

Very fun up until the ending, which I didn't get. From the comments I gather it is a joke about something called Punch & Judy. Well 🤷🏻

It's a very short short story. But, it did make me chuckle.

I like Terry Pratchett's humor and I like the City watch books that I've read so far. However this short story was just too short, and did not add much. It shouldn't even count as a book, it's that short.

A short story about a strange crime in Anhk-Morpork and a young Corporal Carrot setting out to solve it in his usual very direct manner.
This one is a bit rough around the edges and very short (read in about 10 minutes) but has all the characters we know and love in the Watch.
