This was not my favorite of the books in the series. I don't know whether it was just that I didn't find the details of the story as compelling, or whether it has more to do with David Lagercrantz's writing. I didn't have any trouble getting through the book, which makes me think that it is the former.
This picks up the story of Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander several months after the prior book left off. Lisbeth has all but disappeared; Mikael hasn't written anything worth reading in the meantime and his magazine, Millennium, is struggling mightily. The murder of an IT genius brings them back together, on an unusual quest to find the man's lost research and save his autistic child, the only witness to the murder.
Saying much more would spoil things, so I won't. Despite being so far my least favorite of the four books in the series that I've read, it's still a page turner.
