The Girl Who Played With Fire - Stieg Larsson

The second book of the Millennium trilogy focuses on Lisbeth Salander, now estranged from Mikael Blomkvist and wanted for three murders.  The “friends” that she left behind two years ago try to piece together the truth while the police track her down.

While not as good as its predecessor, this was a fine follow up and provided a deeper look into what makes up Lisbeth Salander, one of the best literary characters of the past decade.  The ending also provides a good starting point for the next book, the final of the series.
