The Girl Who Played with Fire

**Book 1**

This was an interesting book. I really learned the reason I try not to read mystery books. I found myself up really late one night because I was sucked into the mystery of this story.

This book has the same prominent characters that the first one did. Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist. But, unlike the last book where they, for the most part, worked together on one major mystery, this time they worked very separately, and for two very different causes.

You really learn about Lisbeth's past. The reason she ended up in a psychiatric clinic, the reason that she doesn't trust people of authority, all of it. And it is a great story. She is not quite a confusing character with the revelation of a single pivotal event from her past.

However, she's suspected of murder. Three murders to be exact. Mikael is initially working on a story about sex trafficking, but spends most of the book trying to discover who shot two of his friends - a man who was employed by Millennium magazine and his girlfriend. The two were very pivotal regarding exposing a bunch of people who had exploited through this sex trafficking.

I just found this book enthralling. On to the next!
