Reviews
He is one of the greatest in this genre.
David Lagercrantz constructs his work solidly on the foundation made by Stieg Larsson. The characters of these novels continue to fascinate, and when it comes to the ability to create tension, he is one of the greatest in this genre.
Svenska Dagbladet (SE)Lagercrantz respects the Larsson philosophy.
Staying true to the personality of the punky hacker Salander and giving depth to the investigative journalist Blomkvist and his new characters, Lagercrantz respects the Larsson philosophy.
L’Express (FR)It would be hard to imagine a sequel more faithful to its work of origin
It would be hard to imagine a sequel more faithful to its work of origin than this one/…/ Salander, though, emerges as the most dramatic, charismatic and effective investigator of them all: weak in social skills but unmatched in speaking blunt truth to corrupt power.
