5 stars

Millennium has another hot story to publish, a journalist has been researching and is about to expose a large network involving sex slaves and powerful people who have a lot to lose. When said journalist and his partner are found dead by Blomkvist, it just makes him want more than ever to publish the story and find the killer.

This book was so good! I confess I did not understand what the beginning had to do with the rest of the story, even though it would make a great short story. Was it for the readers to understand Salander's morals? To understand how she spent a year away? Nevertheless, it feels very disconnected to rest, which has a much faster pace than the previous volume and is impossible to put down. I loved every bit of it and when I could not read, I was thinking about the loose ends and how to tie them up. Excellent crime fiction.
