Book Log 2018 #17: The Silver Swan by Benjamin Black

Dublin pathologist Quirke gets pulled into another mystery, this time over the apparent suicide of a young woman that he doesn't quite believe was suicide. Quirke unravels the mystery of the young woman's life and death while dealing with similar issues in his own life.

I thought the actual mystery here wasn't as interesting as in the first book, but was more drawn in by how Quirke and his family are dealing with the events of the first book. There's enough there to almost make the mystery superfluous. Which may not be such a great thing in a murder mystery series, but it's enough for me to stick with it.
