A review by sarahloubooks
The Girl Who Lived Twice by David Lagercrantz

2.0

This was a disappointing end to the Millenium series. We meet back up with Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist in this final book. With Lisbeth is hot on the trail of her twin sister, her and Mikael are once again separated. When a homeless man is found murdered with nothing on him except Blomkvist’s phone number, Mikael is once again pulled into a conspiracy story; this time involving a trek to Mount Everest. Overall this plot line was altogether very weak and a little pointless and I found myself losing the thread of what was happening regularly simply through lack of interest. As with all three books written by Lagercrantz in this series this is a very watered down instalment compared with the graphic nature of Larsson’s first three books, and Salander is again barely featured, which I don’t really understand seeing as she is the title character in all six books. I was pleased to see a wrapping up of her relationship with her sister Camilla, but even that was somewhat unsatisfying. Not really a fitting end to Larsson’s legacy for me.
