2.0

There is too much unnecessary information in this book. The plot doesn’t progress until about 60% in and Lisbeth isn’t really a main character.

It started kinda slow and was a bit of a drag but It picked up pace and I guessed

that Harriet is alive

I did not appreciate the excessive descriptive scene of gruesome acts against women but I guess the book is a product of its time. 
It's a engaging mystery novel but it was not really extraordinary and the plot didn't surprise me that much.

Out of all the traumatic, horrible things that happened in this story, Lisbeth having coffee and toasts with pickle slices was the hardest to read.

Definitely interesting. I think this was definitely an important book to write, especially in regards to overlooked problems. But I did feel like some of it got ahead of itself and ended up coming off as a bit melodramatic.
