Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.
A unanimous verdict – it’s really, really good. Even at over 500 pages it’s a quick read as you get so engrossed in the story that you just don’t want to put it down. Most of us found the Vanger mystery much more absorbing than the financial corruption storyline though this is interwoven very well. Larsson’s storytelling and descriptions aren’t hampered at all by the translation – from the great character portrayals to the Swedish setting to the horrific sexual violence and murders. Looking forward to reading The Girl Who Played With Fire, the second of this Millennium trilogy.
