drkottke 's review for:

The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz
3.0

In contrast to the original Larsson trilogy, this one feels more like a straightforward industrial espionage thriller than a complex meditation on the legacy of the Cold War and destructive inequalities in an ostensibly egalitarian state. It also feels more self-contained than the earlier novels, which get significant retelling here.
