Even the Dead by Benjamin Black

4.0

Finished Even the Dead a few days ago. It is the latest installment in Benjamin Black's series of noir mysteries exposing the decades long abuse by the Catholic Church in Ireland of pregnant single women as practically slave labor, and the coerced selling off of their children as orphans. One aspect I really liked of this one was the middle aged main character, Quirke, falling deeply in love with a mature, professional woman who owns her own sexuality and is neither blonde, young, or thin.
