#23. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

Title:

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Author:

Stieg Larsson

Genre:

Scandinavian Murder/Crime Fiction/Thriller

Synopsis:

A disgraced journalist is asked to investigate the 40 year old disappearance of a young girl and finds himself joining forces with a dysfunctional hacker in order to uncover a much more shocking chain of events than anyone anticipated.

Verdict:

Harsh, confronting but balanced and enjoyable. Fresh characters that exceed expectations with their actions and depth. The first part of the book is heavily taken up with establishing the characters’ back stories and personalities but I felt it was time well spent which paid off later on.

Pages:

533
