Aka J.K. Rowling. Anyone read this series? Wife has, and she's a fan. I read the first book, and it was solid, though detective novels aren't usually my thing. Anyway, there's a TV series on it on HBO that I just started.
Feel you there. Wife loves it though. Have you watched the show yet? I started it, but then was requested that I should wait to watch it with her, so it's now in the queue.
