ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME • #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The thrilling first book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series featuring Lisbeth Salander: “Combine the chilly Swedish backdrop and moody psychodrama of a Bergman movie with the grisly pyrotechnics of a serial-killer thriller, then add an angry punk heroine and a down-on-his-luck investigative journalist, and you have the ingredients of Stieg Larsson’s first novel” (The New York Times). • Also known as the Millennium series Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption. Look for the latest book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, The Girl in the Eagle's Talons!

"Gripping, harrowing, and dark... Triumphant "

"One of my favorite book. This book is my favorite of the series and way better than the movie."

Cam Nguyen

"Read the original series years ago, but not the continued books penned after Larsson's death. Has anyone read them? "

The Lazy Reader

"This book will leave you wanting more... More answers and more of the lead character. Fortunately it is a trilogy!"

Anita Skop

"One of the best thrillers of all time - doesn’t need much of a review as this is one of the most read fiction books out there."

Sheldon Rapoza

"Did not finish. I had a hard time focusing, possibly too boring for me. Or maybe the expectations I had for it were too high."

"Trigger warning: sexual assault. I really love the character development with Salander and her starting out as a guarded, very insensitive girl and turns into her really strange romantic and sexual like with men twice her age. (She's twenty and they're forty) you see her and the men go through some really interesting situations with what is right and wrong. Also this is the first book I've read set in my homeland of Sweden so I was very excited that they mentioned my mum's hometown of Trollhättan"

"It’s sad #stieglarrson didn’t live to see his trilogy become well loved. All three of the books were fantastic, #wellwritten #twists #pain and #healing "

"I’ve never heard much about this story, but am very familiar with how popular the book and movie both were. And now, I understand why. A long book that doesn’t feel long. So much detailed background information that builds a fantastically told story. I really enjoyed it despite how lost I felt after the first chapter. "
