Finished Fatal Headwind by Leena Lehtolainen, 6th in the Maria Kallio series of retro Finnish police procedurals originally written in the 1990s. I thought this one would be a busman's holiday episode, where she solved a murder while on leave and vacation. But actually that bit was incidental, and it's more about her returning from an extended absence, with the accompanying changes to the workplace status quo (and the murder-solving), and ensuing personal growth as a result of that, and interacting with the case, which involves 90s-era extremist environmentalism and dodgy greenwashing business practices which, TBH, don't look like they've changed much in the past couple of decades.
Another solid installment to a good series (best read in order because while it doesn't exactly spoiler the whodunnits for previous cases, it does reference important suspect-eliminating details from some of them, one of which I have apparently completely blanked out of my mind to the point where I was wondering if I'd actually missed a book, but my records show that I've read them all up to this point). And now for May the Fourth (Be With You), on to the late Carrie Fisher's memoir of her Star Wars filming experience, The Princess Diarist.
