About this ebook

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series continues: Lisbeth Salander must face the most important battle of her life, and will finally put her past to rest in this thriller that will “leave Salander’s legion of followers clamoring for more” (The Wall Street Journal). • Also known as the Millennium series

Mikael Blomkvist is trying to reach Lisbeth Salander—the fierce, unstoppable girl with the dragon tattoo. He needs her help unraveling the identity of a man who died with Blomkvist's phone number in his pocket—a man who does not exist in any official records and whose garbled last words hinted at knowledge that would be dangerous to important people. But Lisbeth has disappeared. She's sold her apartment in Stockholm. She's gone dark. She's told no one where she is. And no one is aware that at long last she's got her primal enemy, her twin sister, Camilla, squarely in her sights.

Look for the latest book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, The Girl in the Eagle's Talons, coming soon!

Ratings and reviews

First and foremost, the story is enjoyable. I don't know if there was a hang up with the translator or the writing itself, but the first third of the book is chock full of worn out tropes and some passages that are hard to get through. These only resurface briefly throughout the rest of the book. Hints do drop, you can make connections but it does have the typical "revelation -> SHTF -> Lisbeth saves the day" and everything wraps up fairly quickly. I rate 7/10, I've read worse, but I do want to thank Langencrantz for his work and dedication.

Disappointed. The plot was really stupid. And the ending even worse. How many more are you planning to write? The more you write, the worse the stories get.

Picked up with the intrigue, excitement and flourish that I enjoy in the writing and story telling: right where the others left off.
