I just finished Terry Pratchett's most recent Discworld novel, Snuff. Pratchett's lost none of his wit, but the focus is obscured. The story rambles all over the place and takes way too long to get to its point. He repeats his theme a lot. Given the state of his health it's not surprising, and the book's actually better than I'd hoped. Definitely worth reading, though don't expect top-drawer Pratchett. And, if you've gone all the way through it, the last line's a killer!
