At once a murder mystery, family saga, love story, and tale of financial intrigue wrapped into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel.
Harriet Vanger, Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of iniquity and corruption. (back cover)
It was a great story. Easy to read, compelling to the end. Some of the story elements I figured out, so I mark it as somewhat predicable. But my enjoyment with this book is up there with Michael Crichton. I'm going to finish out this series before starting up Game of Thrones. It feels great to get back into reading a lot.
