Yes, I have now read this suspenseful novel!

I know. I know. This is not something new.

But, I didn’t realize my daughter had the book until she said “Here!”

A lot has been written about The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo!

Controversy has surrounded the book, the author, the movie, and the remake of the movie.

Lots and lots of readers say they cannot put the book down, but a lot of readers say the book is very slow.

I say a lot to learn about yourself when you read this brilliant novel!

We are most always not what we seem by our looks.

The same goes for Lisbeth Salander, a studded, tattooed, dark genius!

The same goes for Martin Vagner, a CEO, privileged family member, serial killer!

This story is about an old man’s love for his long missing niece and his finding out what happened to her forty years ago.

Henrik Vagner, the old millionaire uncle, hires Mikael Blomkvist, a financial journalist, to finally solve the decades old mystery of Harriet Vagner’s disappearance.

Little did Mikael know that the Vagner clan had such deep dark secrets!

Really enjoyed this read! You should too! Get “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” here!
