The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Forty years ago, young Harriet Vanger vanished without a trace from her mega-rich Swedish family’s private island—no corpse, no witnesses, no evidence. But every year, her uncle receives a clue: a single flower from an anonymous sender.
Hard-nosed journalist Mikael Blomkvist is reeling from a libel suit when Harriet’s uncle hires him to track her down. Riding shotgun on the investigation is 24-year-old super-hacker Lisbeth Salander, a pierced, tattooed and terrifyingly ruthless genius. Together they’ll unearth horrifying corruption among the nation’s elite—and a shocking connection between themselves....
A runaway European bestseller, Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a rip-roaring, dazzlingly smart crime thriller.

submerged in Sweden
September 07, 2010
I have listened to this book on cd (unabridged 16 1/2 hours) 4 times and also read the 2nd and 3rd books. Watched the Swedish film 3 times and have been told I'm obsessed by my family. Ya think. I have found the characters to be so interesting that yes, I really cared what happened to them and totally could feel Lisbeth's pain. I love the writing and felt submerged in their world.

Good Reading
September 06, 2010
When I read the first chapter I didn't think I would like the book. The more I read the more I liked it. I couldn't put it down. Don't just read the first chapter and judge. It is really a good book.
Reviewer: Betty
One the most in depth books I have ever read!
September 01, 2010
Yes the book takes a couple of chapters to get in the flow of things, but once you are there the story is addicting. Lisbeth is a beautiful extremely talented young woman. I am on the third book of the series and am sad to be close to ending. It has been a wonderful trip to a country I have never been. Your imagination will will take you on a journey. I hope the family will find it in their heart to release the 4th book for printing.
