Our view
“Virals” is a lively young-adult mystery that opens a series about Tory Brennan, the great-niece of Temperance Brennan, and her friends. Kathy and Brendan Reichs build it on an outlandish premise that some readers say works better than it sounds, and it needs no knowledge of the adult novels to follow. Others find the ending predictable or the minor characters clichéd.
