'This didn't feel like magic. It felt a lot older than that. It felt like music.'
Being sixteen is always difficult, but it's even more so when there's a Death in the family. Susan hasn't exactly had a normal upbringing, with a skeletal grandfather who rides a white horse and wields a scythe.
When Death decides he needs a well-earned break, he leaves Susan to take over the family business. The only problem is, everyone mistakes her for the Tooth Fairy...
Well, not the only problem. There's a new, addictive music in Discworld. It's lawless. It changes people. It's got a beat and you can dance to it.
It's called Music With Rocks In. And it won't fade away...
The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order, but Soul Music is the third book in the Death series.
The first book in the Discworld series - The Colour of Magic - was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.

Rock and Roll!
If you’re a musically inclined person, especially early rock and roll, this story is for you, and what story about rock and roll would be complete without Death. When the anthropomorphic representation wants to forget about something, his granddaughter must fill in, though she gets a little help. But when music takes center stage in Ankh-Morpork, everything goes pear-shaped. Follow along as the well-narrated story of Sir Pratchett’s story of all things rock and roll takes you head long down a story of hilarity and the meaning of the roles we have to play in life.
