The Girl Who Played With Fire

Stieg Larsson has come up with another winner, in this sequel to "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". I haven't had the pleasure of reading his first book, although I can tell you that the movie based on his book was riveting! His sequel begins with a bang, an enticing glimpse into the past of our cryptic heroine, Lisbeth Salandar quickly followed by non-stop action involving her as well as another character from the first book, Mikael Blomkvist. Is he a continuing love interest? Is Lisbeth guilty of murdering not only her heinous guardian but two of Mikael's friends and investigators into a sex-trafficking underworld? Is it a set-up? By whom? All of these questions are answered as I plowed through this fast paced extravaganza of a novel. I can't wait to see what Stieg Larsson comes up with next!
