- I never read mystery but this was actually very good!
- definetly was a good book to make into a movie cause the dialogue in the book feels like a movie script.
- I 🖤 lisbeth salander
- i feel like I'm probably not gonna read the other books in the series but you never know

While I definitely did make a number of correct guesses in the first half of the book for the ending, there was still one puzzle I didn’t figure out, and I quite enjoyed the entertainment that was acted upon in solving that last mess. This was a thrilling ride of torment and love (not together).
Note: know your personal triggers and what you can handle. Sexual abuse and violent crimes against women is a theme that pops up several times and is graphically described.

The prologue introduces us to a bizzare case, which turns out to be even crazier and is packed with such intelligent case solving skills and realistic feels, it blew my mind.
Indulging political and financial matters and sharp portrayal of hate crimes against women, which were so ingrained in the main plot made the book a lot more than what regular mystery crime thrillers look like.
A masterpiece!!!
