#70 The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling

This was a much denser read than I thought it would be. It is a slice of life in a small village with everything turned on its ear due to the death of a town councilman and the fallout of people deciding to run for his seat. It is very much conflict book, haves vs have nots, parents vs kids, and in law battles. The book starts and ends with death but there is no real tidy ending to the book. It was well written but not sure if I would pick up another one of her books as fast as I had this one.
