About the book
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist return to the Girl in the Dragon Tattoo series in this ripped-from-the-headlines, high-octane follow-up to Stieg Larsson's The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. - Also known as the Millennium series
"Rest easy, Lisbeth Salander fans--our punk hacker heroine is in good hands.... A twisty, bloody thrill ride.... An instant page-turner." --USA Today
The next installment in the Millennium series: a genius hacker who has always been an outsider; a journalist with a penchant for danger. She is Lisbeth Salander, the girl with the dragon tattoo. He is Mikael Blomkvist, crusading editor of Millennium. One night, Blomkvist receives a call from a source who claims to have been given information vital to the United States by a young female hacker. Blomkvist, always on the lookout for a story, reaches out to Salander for help. She, as usual, has plans of her own. Together they are drawn into a ruthless underworld of spies, cybercriminals, and government operatives--some willing to kill to protect their secrets.
Look for the latest book in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, The Girl in the Eagle's Talons, coming soon!

4.0Reading the first of Lagercrantz's books in the Millennium series, I noticed the difference in writing style to Larsson's but I couldn't put my finger on it until I read other reviews. Larsson's writing felt distinct with its detailed and lengthy prose and fleshing out of characters. I also felt the way he weaved the stories was very clever and had a lot of layers, leaving me guessing and in suspense. The Girl in the Spider's Web was a comparitively short read, but introduced some interesting characters and plot points. However, I felt the plot could have been more intricate and it seemed fairly straightforward for the protagonists to overcome certain challenges. Due to the length of the book, or perhaps the timescale in which it takes place, I also felt we missed out a bit on the interactions and relationships between the some of the characters. After I got two thirds of the way through the book, I imagined more of a cliffhanger with the amount of pages left. Lagercrantz had a tough act to follow but I think he did well all things considered. I enjoyed the book because I'm a fan of the genre and the protagonists Blomkvist and Salander, so I will happily continue to follow their escapades.
