A small town murder occurs, in true ‘TV detective Columbo’ style you know who did it, but you are still drawn into the tale. Brutal moments, hidden undercurrents and stubborn survival instincts all described simply and in deserved prize-winning ways.
Lisbeth has quite a few really good reasons to hate men and I believe Mr Larsson’s writing shows he was a true feminist
By the way there is a new genre creeping onto the bookshelves ‘New Adult’ which is YA with sex, odd really surely a new adult is just an adult.
I wasn’t going to pick up this book, despite recommendations, as it looked a bit tacky and predictable with a beautiful woman in evening dress and handcuffs on the cover. However it was brilliant!
A classic storyline and mystery of a woman, is she going mad, is she already insane or, is it a set up.
I read this in just over a day, it really grabs you and over you through the plot. I guess I’d describe it as ‘Gritty Scandinavian’.
What a joy, a small hand size hardback book, beautifully bound and tactile.
