Week 2: Assignment 2 (Book #2, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)
I enjoy reading about female characters who are strong, smart and sometimes, rough around the edges. Steig Larsson is the bomb in this drama, suspense, mystery and thriller rolled into one. You know with the turn of every page, some mystery will unfold that pieces together a young girl's shortened life. Lisbeth Salander is a renegade, making a name for herself in the world of journalism, and she has quite the reputation. Mikael Blomkvist is also a man of mystery; he is intelligent and a bit edgy himself. As Salander and Blomkvist search for clues that will lay to rest an age old mystery, they find a connection with one another. It is a story that has every element I love-a wonderfully written plot, a rich setting, tough girl, mystery man and a love affair-if you can call it that....
1222 by Ann Holt - it's got it all - murder, mayhem, strong semi-likeable female character, dark Scandinavian sensibility. This fast-paced thriller takes place in a train wreck caught in a blizzard somewhere in the wilds of northern Norway. Retired detective Hanna Wilhelmson, wheelchair-bound from a gunshot, happens to be on the train. Though she has put her police career behind her, she is forced to become involved when events spiral out of control.
