This book joins the list of favorite books this year. It was a captivating story that only took me a few days to read–simply because when I was about halfway through, it got so good that I couldn’t put it down and stayed up last weekend until about 1a.m. reading to the end. This is the first story in the series, and though I’d already read the second book, The Girl who Played with Fire, I think I’m going to go back and re-read it before digging into the third book, The Girl who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.
This is the story of two main characters, who for the first half of the book, don’t intersect. One is a young woman who has grown up in the guardianship system, and who is an expert hacker; one is a writer who has been engaged to solve a mystery during his year away from his job. When the two characters’ lives began to intersect, it was electric. I was petrified, shocked, and intrigued at the same time.
This should be at the top of your reading lists.
