Our view
“One of Our Thursdays Is Missing” is a clever, playful sixth Thursday Next novel, set inside the world of fiction itself. Jasper Fforde’s imagination and love of books are everywhere, and he turns detective-story clichés to his own advantage. Some readers find the first half slow and the plot hard to follow; others feel the series’ ideas wearing thin by now. It works best with the earlier books fresh in mind.
