Mikael Blomkvist, a Swedish journalist, has just been convicted of libel and needs to distance himself from his magazine. At least for the duration of his sentence and probation.

Henrik Vanger persuades Blomkvist to spend a year doing his own investigation into the disappearance of his niece, Harriet, over 40 years ago. For his efforts, Vanger will pay him handsomely.

Lisabeth Salander does freelance work for a private investigation firm and is a highly experienced and effective computer hacker. She joins up with Blomkvist to help him solve the mystery of Harriet Vangers disappearance.

It took me some time to get into this book about 100 pages. Im not sure if its because I didnt read the notes on the back cover I knew it was a murder mystery or if it just took that long to get into it. I couldnt figure out why the story kept jumping between the story of Blomkvist and Salander and I was wondering when the murder was going to happen. Of course, itd already happened.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the next two books in the seriers.
