《臨時空缺》是哈利波特系列作者J·K·羅琳完成哈利波特五年後的第一部小說，亦是首部以成人讀者為取向的小說。此小說主要描述教區議會議員巴利死亡後遺留下的教區議員席次，所引發一場的爭奪戰。 故事設定在一座名為「派格福」的西部郊鎮，從受大家喜愛的教區議會議員巴利·費柏拉的死亡揭開序幕
When Barry Fairbrother dies unexpectedly in his early forties, the little 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 town’s 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? Blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising, The Casual Vacancy is J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults.
