these books are awesome, love the characters,
Loved the whole series
This book is a haunting page turner. It portrays a tragic side of life in which the ultimate victim is able to overcome and get the ultimate revenge. It is a very dark tale but fascinating and VERY well written.
Enter another world that is computer involved, reveals a tragic history, surrounding a strong and self motivated survivor female lead character and very original story line.
This is a good read, but not a fast one. There is a lot of exposition, but it is essential to the story. It is very well plotted and a satisfying read.
My favorite of this series.
WOW! What a ride! My very favorite thing about this series is each book takes up like the next chapter of the prior book. The names/spellings of the places and people did bother me a bit, though 🙂
Wow loved this and his other book. Couldn’t put down and loved watching the 2 characters interact and solve the situations! Will miss the author!
Loved this book.
Excellent book! Suspenseful and a real page turner! Some of the violence is quite graphic – so be aware. But though it is a bit dark and gritty, the plot is quite exciting and keeps you reading to the end. I loved the entire series. Best books I’ve read in a long while. I might not have read them except a friend recommended them and boy am I glad …
Very hate to follow.
Couldn’t stop with book one of this series. Loved the characters, the story and the action packed ride. So sorry to have lost such a brilliant author.
I LOVED THIS BOOK and all by that author! What a shame that he died before completing other books. He was a terrific writer! His characters are unlike any other characters we have seen in books! The writing is wonderful and it flows and I can’t rave enough!!! This book and the others are all TERRIFIC! Read them!!
Fantastic read!
Loved this whole series
What interesting characters!
It’s not for the faint-hearted, and as others have said, it does take about 100 pages before it really gets going, but once it does – holy smokes, it is insanely good. I wish I could give this 4 and 1/2 stars to be honest. Some of the sex felt tacked on, and the clear cases of author wish fullfillment can be eye-roliing, to say the least …
It’s an amazing beginning to the tri part series.
A must read for lovers of mystery and thrillers.
One of the best books I’ve read. Left an impression for sure. Definitely kept my attention and I couldn’t put it down. In fact, I read the other 2 books in the trilogy, ” The Girl who Played with Fire ” and “The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest”. It was a great trilogy. If you liked “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, you’ll definitely like …
A very intense book. I couldn’t put it down and ended up reading the whole series
