The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – Millenium Trilogy – Part 1

An out n out Suspense crime thriller, the first one in the Millenium Trilogy written by Swedish writer Late Stieg Larsson. I found the first few pages a little boring, but once the main plot of the novel began, I thoroughly enjoyed reading.

The story revolves around journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Co-owner of a Political Magazine Millenium in Stockholm) and his research assistant Lisbeth Salander. Blomkvist loses his reputation when his article about a business tycoon(Wennerstrom) backfires and he is also sentenced for a 3 month imprisonment in the same case. At this time he gets an offer from Henrik Vanger to investigate into a  36 year old case of mysterious disappearance of Henrik’s grand-niece Harriet Vanger during a family gathering. He hires Lisbeth as his research assistant and both of them solve the mystery. Lisbeth is an unusual lady with excellent computer hacking skills and photographic memory.

The story takes place in Sweden. Lots n lots of violence against women has been described in the novel. Fell in love with Lisbeth’s Character She’s amazing.

And this would be my first entry to Readers Guild Marathon which’s being conducted by Evening Hour. Thanks Sushma for letting me know about this event.
