The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Series)

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In this “thoroughly gripping” (New York Times) continuation of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, Lisbeth Salander lies in critical condition in a Swedish hospital, a bullet in her head. But she's fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she'll stand trial for three murders. • Also known as the Millennium series

In the next installment of the Millennium series, with the help of Mikael Blomkvist, Salander will need to identify those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she'll seek revenge—against the man who tried to kill her and against the corrupt government institutions that nearly destroyed her life.

Look for the latest book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, The Girl in the Eagle's Talons, coming soon!

I enjoyed this series very much. Salander is one of the most fascinating characters I have had the pleasure of reading about. She is smart but very flawed. The book did go into green at great detail about matters that were inconsequential to the story. I did like Larsonn going into detail about Swedish politics and government. A satisfying end to the Millenium trilogy.

Wow - how many twists and turns can you have plus a million characters - need to read in a short period of time so can keep track of the characters - loved the trilogy - sad to think the world was robbed of such a great author so no more books from this amazing author for us to devour
