Perversions. The pleasure that John Banville must feel as he writes mysteries under the penname Benjamin Black comes across on the pages of each novel. The latest, A Death in Summer, reprises the brooding Dr. Quirke, and explores more seedy aspects of life in Dublin in the 1950s. There’s a murder that sets the action in motion, and then all the connections and motives and tension is laid out for readers. Figuring things out becomes incidental to the pleasure of enjoying fine writing.Rating: Four-star (Highly Recommended)
