A solid sequel to the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This installment continues the fast pace and multi-layered storytelling that made the first book so enjoyable. The reader learns more about Lisabeth Salander's backstory amid a massive murder investigation. While some of the plot twists were easy to figure out from the start, other details will leave your mouth agape. Order up a cafe latte, and the final book in the triology while you're at it, because Larsson has you captive by the last page.
