Discworld - Watching for Poison

It is here in the middle of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, that my continuity became mixed up.  There were books being published in the UK at least 6 months before they were published in the US.  I already told how I had discovered Lord and Ladies and Men at Arms at Tower Books with their UK covers (and price tag).  Later I discovered the precursor to Amazon UK in W.H. Smith's online.  When I could afford it, they were my source of Discworld books when they came out until the US got proximal release dates.

Feet of Clay was one I found by surprise, not expecting a new Discworld book to be out yet.  And of course, I didn't savor it, but burned through it.  Being a Watch book, it again has a mystery component to it, but is also a procedural.  Fortunately, I got lucky enough to get the next two books at once as I was VCR sitting for a friend who was off on a trip to England...
