Audience Reviews

Dr Nostromo 8/10 Nov 29, 2025
76/100

The combination of Lisbeth having to re-visit a previous nemesis and Millennium Magazine doing an expose on human trafficking results in a pair of murders with Lisbeth as the main suspect. Centering on one main story in this one, they still managed to fill up the 2 hours with plenty of good stuff including a spy from WWII now hiding in Sweden, Lisbeth's tragic past, and a huge guy who doesn't feel pain, keeping the trilogy moving along at an excellent pace. -- DrNostromo.com
