A big novel about a small town... When Barry Fairbrother dies in his early forties, the town of Pagford is left in shock. Pagford is, seemingly, an English idyll, with a cobbled market square and an ancient abbey, but what lies behind the pretty façade is a town at war. Rich at war with poor, teenagers at war with their parents, wives at war with their husbands, teachers at war with their pupils...Pagford is not what it first seems. And the empty seat left by Barry on the parish council soon becomes the catalyst for the biggest war the town has yet seen. Who will triumph in an election fraught with passion, duplicity, and unexpected revelations? A big novel about a small town, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults. It is the work of a storyteller like no other.

Atemberaubend, labyrinthisch, episch – der 5. Cormoran-Strike-Roman ist der bislang fesselndste und faszinierendste aus der Feder von Bestsellerautorin J. K. Rowling! Cormoran Strike ist gerade zu Besuch bei seiner Familie in Cornwall, als er von einer Frau angesprochen wird, die ihn bittet, ihre Mutter, Margot Bamborough, ausfindig zu machen, die 1974 unter mysteriösen Umständen verschwand. Strike hatte es noch nie mit einem Cold Case zu tun, geschweige denn mit einem, der bereits vierzig Jahre zurückliegt. Doch trotz der geringen Erfolgsaussichten ist seine Neugier geweckt, und so fügt er der langen Liste an Fällen, die er und seine Arbeitspartnerin Robin Ellacott gerade in der Agentur bearbeiten, noch einen hinzu. Robin selbst hat mit einer hässlichen Scheidung und unerwünschter männlicher Aufmerksamkeit zu kämpfen – und dann natürlich mit ihren Gefühlen für Strike ... Strikes und Robins Nachforschungen zu Margots Verschwinden führen sie auf die Fährte eines vertrackten Falls mit Hinweisen auf Tarotkarten, einen psychopathischen Serienkiller und Zeugen, die nicht alle vertrauenswürdig sind. Und sie merken, dass sich selbst Fälle, die schon Jahrzehnte alt sind, als tödlich herausstellen können ... Außerdem aus der Cormoran-Strike-Reihe lieferbar: Der Ruf des Kuckucks Der Seidenspinner Die Ernte des Bösen Weißer Tod
