Fiction

The Returned by Jason Mott. The new ABC series "Resurrection" is based on it.

The book was for me, ultimately unsatisfying. It's not a plot spoiler to say that the set up is that people start returning from the dead. In the book at least, a lot of questions that should have been obvious to the most casual observer were never asked, such as, were the bodies of the returned still in their graves?

It will be interesting to see how they do the series. Unfortunately, like most series on U.S. networks it's undoubtedly conceived as being open ended. The Brits will take something and do a deliberately limited series and that to me is much more effective.
