I know I said I wouldn't read the second book in the Millennium series... but I couldn't help myself. The second book isn't as graphic as the The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but it's definitely as compelling.
This book is about Salander's past, and better characterization of her personality and motivations. It starts with two sets of seemingly unrelated murders that are randomly tied together by a loose connection to Salander. But the connection is actually deeper than that. The murder of the couple research journalists and Salander's "guardian" is tied by their connection to Zalachenko (thug, spy, Salander's father). She hates Zala, and uses the murder to find her father and kill him. However, the book ends in a cliffhanger, where Blomkvist finds her slowly dying and Zala hacked to pieces but alive... and the third book in the series is about Salander's trial, and we'll find out if she is set free or if she's subject to a legal system that's failed her again and again.
