The fifth installment in the Millennium Trilogy (can it still be a trilogy when you get to book 5?). The Girl Who Takes An Eye For An Eye has David Lagercrantz taking his second shot at Lisbeth Salander, Mikael Blomkvist, and gang.  In this go around, Salander spends most of the book in prison, while Blomkvist investigates a story about identical twins and experiments that were done to them years ago.

If that doesn’t sound too exciting, that’s because it really wasn’t.  After his first outing, I wasn’t exactly sold on Lagercrantz’s takes on Stieg Larsson’s world and characters.  This effort just further cemented my thoughts that the series should have ended with Larsson’s last work finished before he died.  Or, with the rumored fourth book that was mostly finished on his laptop, controlled by his girlfriend.

I’m sure that this book will be successful enough that there will be another one sooner or later.  Whether or not I return is up in the air at this point.
