The Girl who kicked the Hornets’ Nest – Millenium Trilogy – Part 3

This’s the 3rd and last book of the Trilogy. It’s a true sequel to the previous book (The Girl who Played with Fire). The story (in the second book) ends where Lisbeth is shot by her father, Alexander Zalancheko, a former Russian Spy and she in turn attempts to kill him. Her half-brother Neidermann escapes.There are many unanswered questions in the second book.



The third one begins where Lisbeth and her father are both hospitalised. Both of them stay in the same hospital just two rooms apart. Zalachenko tries to kill Lisbeth, but he gets murdered by Sapo’s  former chief Evert Gullberg.Salander’s enemies are determined to lock her in a mental hospital for life with the help of a psychiatrist. Lisbeth has to face a trial for the events that transpired at the end of  the second book. How Lisbeth gets freed of all the charges laid against her and how all her enemies are arrested, forms the rest of the story. Mikael Blomkvist (the journalist), his sister Annika (Defence Lawyer) and few other officers work together to prove Lisbeth’s innoncence. This book brings all the unsolved pieces of puzzle together.

Finally, the Trilogy ends with a satisfactory conclusion. This book too is very much addicting just as the previous ones. This trilogy is a complex read and it would be better  if you read all the three books back to back. Finally, as I’ve said before, Lisbeth’s character is truly amazing and she’s now one my favourite heroine (of the  novels I read so far).

Third book for the Readers marathon event.
