The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest: A Novel by Stieg Larsson

Have you been caught up in the trilogy by the late Swedish author and journalist Stieg Larsson? The final book has just been released (unless there's more lurking on his laptop) and it's not to be missed. But these books must be read in order, so if you want to get immersed in some of the best storytelling around, reserve a copy of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and lose yourself in this series that NY Times Book reviewer David Kamp calls utterly addicting and meet two of the most interesting characters on fiction pages today: "a fearless middle-aged journalist named Mikael Blomkvist, who publishes an Expo-like magazine called Millennium, and a slight, sullen, socially maladjusted, tech-savvy young goth named Lisbeth Salander, the “girl” of the books’ titles, who, in addition to her dragon tattoo, possesses extraordinary hacking abilities and a twisted, complicated past. "

Book 'Em! Our mystery discussion group at The Brookfield Library will discuss The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on August 30.
