Bookshops opened their doors early today for readers to get their hands on JK Rowling’s first novel for adults.

JK Rowling has left “the door ajar” for a return to the world of Harry Potter but said there would be no more books about the wizard.

JK Rowling’s first book for adults will be a “blackly comic” tale about an idyllic town ripped apart by a parish council election.
