Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) The girl with the dragon tattoo is back. Stieg Larsson's seething heroine, Lisbeth Salander, once again finds herself paired with journalist Mikael Blomkvist on the trail of a sinister criminal enterprise. Only this time, Lisbeth must return to the darkness of her own past (more specifically, an event coldly known as "All the Evil") if she is to stay one step ahead--and alive. The Girl Who Played with Fire is a break-out-in-a-cold-sweat thriller that crackles with stunning twists and dismisses any talk of a sophomore slump. Fans of Larsson's prior work will find even more to love here, and readers who do not find their hearts racing within the first five pages may want to confirm they still have a pulse. Expect healthy doses of murder, betrayal, and deceit, as well as enough espresso drinks to fuel downtown Seattle for months.
My Review:
My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.
This is an excellent follow up to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Mikael Blomkvist and his magazine Millennium have achieved notoriety for his takedown of Wennerstrom. Lisbeth Salander is off seeing the world and living off the money she managed to steal from Wennerstrom before he was destroyed. And then she returns to Sweden.
And murders start happening. Blamed for the murder of three people, Salander secludes herself in the secret apartment she had bought in order to track down who is framing her. Convinced of Salander's innocence, Mikael spends his days trying to figure out who really killed the three victims Salander is blamed for killing.
It's a race for the truth, and it ends with a bang.
I could not put this book down. Who is the mysterious "Zala"? Who is really responsible for these murders? Why is Lisbeth being framed and by whom? If you want to find out, pick up the second book in this trilogy and start cracking that mystery!
You can purchase The Girl who Played with Fire through Amazon in hard copy or Kindle format.
