This book picks up where the others left off with the central characters being Lisbeth Salander and Michael Blomkvist.
A disjointed novel that has Michael and others researching the mysterious death of a former Sherpa that has thin ties back to the criminal group Lisabeth’s deceased father had been associated. Meanwhile, Lisabeth hunts for her evil twin sister, Camilla, who along with a former associate of her father and an outlaw biker gang hunt for her.

Every book in this series seems to further dilute what used to be good into a weak boring story. Nothing objectionable, but it's just the same old and less interesting.
Hopefully this ends this travesty called continuation of a book series.
Suprisingly enough it is not as bad as the former one but it is barely worth the paper it's printed on.

3.5 rounded up. Enjoyable but a bit of a confusing storyline that was not super engaging.
always nice to be back with lisbeth and mikael. i am tired of salander's family drama but maybe (?) i found the case interesting--i always like it more when they are working on a story together, not involved in insane shootouts. usual complaints about lisbeth being TOO good (ok...she can do gene sequencing now? come on...) and stakes feeling strange. i think lagercrantz has done a decent job; it'll be interesting to see how the next one picks up (new author).
Spoiler
it's over now?
3.5 would be more accurate - I’d say it’s Lagercrantz’s best in this series.
Disclaimer - I DNF. I love this series and think David Lagercrantz has done a decent job taking over. This book is so dry, though. All his Salander books are a bit dryer than Larsson’s but I just couldn’t do it anymore. The main characters have become shadows of themselves and, in the 80 odd pages I read, spent more time moping around than anything. Might try it again at some point.
