Finished Th 2/19/26
This was a paperback that I noticed on the living room shelf. I own the first and second novel in the series. I remember that I liked to movie. I know that I saw the Noomi Rapace version where she played Lizbeth Salander and I wasn't even aware of the Daniel Craig film. I was shocked to learn that neither film was listed at Reelgood. I was able to stream the Daniel Craig Film on Tubi and I learned this from IMDB.
A disgraced Swedish publisher is asked by a wealthy industrialist to find out the mystery of his missing niece (Harriet, his brother's daughter). In the summer of 1966 she disappeared at a street festival and was never seen again. Decades later it's revealed that she escaped the island in the trunk of a car. In the movie she relocated to Australia to establish a 'station' (what Australians call a 'ranch').
Reveal: Harriet was being sexually abused by her father and her brother. She also learns that her brother and father were a couple of serial killers of women and had been operating for many, many years. Lizbeth Salander is the tattooed hacker that is able to uncover any secret on the Internet.
A great read and I'm looking forward to the second book. It's too bad that the original movie from Sweden is no longer available and I was really surprised that the Daniel Craig version was not more popular.
I finished the book on Thursday and watched the film version on Friday morning. I love living in the modern world!
