Book Review: The Girl in the Spider's Web - David Lagercrantz

25074850
She is the girl with the dragon tattoo--a genius hacker and uncompromising misfit.  He is a crusading journalist whose championing of the truth often brings him to the brink of prosecution.

Late one night, Blomkvist receives a phone call from a source claiming to have information vital to the United States.   The source has been in contact with a young female superhacker--a hacker resembling someone Blomkvist knows all too well.  The implications are staggering.  Blomkvist, in desperate need of a scoop for Millennium, turns to Salander for help.  She, as usual, has her own agenda.  The secret they are both chasing is at the center of a tangled web of spies, cybercriminials, and government around the world, someone is prepared to protect it...

4/5 stars (really like it)
David Lagercrantz did a great job picking up the series where Stieg Larsson left off.  I felt that this book had the same feel as the other three.  Salandar is still her bad-ass anti social genius.  Blomkvist is still the compelling journalist who seems to be fumbling through things but really know how he's doing.  Although Salandar and Blomkvist don't actually talk face to face throughout this book their interactions were great!  I also really enjoyed learning more about Salandar's past as well as having someone from her past come back.  I will definitely read more books from this series.
