This is the second novel in Larsson’s Mikael Blomkvist/Lisbeth Salander series. The first book, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, was probably the best mystery this critic has read in the past five years. Incredibly, the second book is even better than the first. This is a must-read series for any mystery enthusiast. We’re waiting impatiently for the third and final book in this series. - (BH)

In fact, this book is so good it deserves two kudos. I agree wholeheartedly with BH. This is one of the most accomplished mysteries I have read in some time. (PB)
