The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling
3.0

Though it's a slog and there are no happy endings here, it's hard not to be captivated by Rowling's skill at plotting and creating vivid characters. It's fun to imagine how a creative director might enliven the story. Imagine a cast from the British royal acting community, those who have not appeared in a Harry Potter movie. Lots to choose from!
