Sieg Larsson The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Review

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great book with mysteries twist and turns, it follows a journalist named Mikael Blomkvist who is forced to resign from the magazine he works at Millennium. After his reputation is disgraced and he ends up with jail sentence. Before his sentence begins he is made an offer he can’t refuse, by an ageing business man Henrik Vanger. Who wants him to help find out what happened to his Granddaughter who disappeared 40 years ago. Blomkvist in lists the help of a young computer hacker named Lisbeth Salander and together they uncover some of the Vanger family’s darkest secrets encountering many dangerous and mysterious situations along the way.

This is a griping read although a little slow at first with heavy story line.

If you’re not into graphic, intense, mystery, crime novels with lots of twists and turns this book may not be for you, but if you like this type of thing I highly recommend this one.

Larsson outdid himself with this one.

Ian Rankin Hide & Seek Review

Hide and Seek by Ian Rankin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was the first Rankin novel I read. It’s mainly about a junkie found dead in a squat looking like what appears to be a human dark magic sacrifice, thought the book Rebus uncovers links to parts of Edinburgh’s underworld and some so called respectable people. Rebus uncovers the entire twisted affair in his usual gruff manner.

I think this book is good read and I would recommend it anyone who likes detective stories or the Rebus TV show.
