For this review, I get into the second Millennium book by Stieg Larsson, The Girl Who Played With Fire. Set some time after the first book, Lisbeth and Mikael are brought back together by a conspiracy to destroy Lisbeth, set by someone unknown. On the run, Lisbeth must protect herself as she always has, but with less on her side this time around.

Monday Mourning by Kathy Reichs (Temperance Brennan #7)

In this review of Kathy Reichs' "Monday Mourning," the seventh book in the Temperance Brennan series, the focus shifts to the investigation of three young girls' remains. The mystery is more cohesive and emotionally engaging, complemented by personal tension in Brennan’s relationship with Andrew Ryan. The reviewer rates it 7/10, appreciating its grounded narrative.
