Focusing again on weird Lisbeth Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist, this is even better than the first in the Millennium trilogy - (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, bwl 54). As well as continuing themes from the first book, it introduces new but connected strands without seeming obvious or laboured, and sets things up nicely for installment three. It is brilliantly written and credit must go to the translator. But it's not for the faint hearted, so gird your loins for some violence.
