Making Money / Terry Pratchett / 400 pages / Deceased Author Challenge

Postmaster General Moist von Lipwig has accomplished the seemingly impossible.  He has resurrected the defunct postal service of Ankh-Morpork and rehabbed the deplorable post office.  He has become rather attached to his position.  Lord Vetinari, however, has other plans for him.  He had engineered Moist's rescue from the hangman and placed him the postal position for his own nefarious reasons.  Now he wants Moist to run the bank.  When Moist turns him down, he finds himself heir to Mrs. Topsy (Turvy) Lavish, inheriting her dog who owns 51% shares (controlling) in the banking system.  For all practical intents and purposes, Moist is now in charge...again!  Of course, once again he succeeds in a most unorthodox manner.  This is great fun!  The audio is well executed, although one must listen carefully in order to catch every double-entendre and wise quip.
