The Industrialist: Henrik Vanger, head of the dynastic Vanger Corp. is tormented by the loss of a child decades earlier and convinced that a member of his family committed murder.

The Journalist: Mikael Blomkvist delves deep into the Vangers' past to uncover the truth behind the unsolved mystery. But someone else wants the past to remain a secret and will go to any lengths to keep it that way.

The girl with the Dragon Tattoo: Lisbeth Salander, the enigmatic, delinquent and dangerous security specialist, assists in the investigation. A genius computer hacker, she tolerates no restrictions placed upon her by individual, society or the law. (back cover)

Review of 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Solidly entertaining - not "all that", and I'm not entirely sure I understand what all the fuss was about, but I very much enjoyed it, enough that I'll read the next book. I especially want to know more about Lisbeth Salander... she was by far the most interesting character, and I assume that, since these books are referred to as a trilogy, she and Mikael appear in the other two.

One thing by which I found myself distracted was that this book seemed to contain two different stories which, while connected, felt artificially so, as if Larsson didn't have quite enough story in either for them to stand alone. I'll be interested to see where he goes in the next book.
