Our view
David Lagercrantz takes over “Millennium” without breaking it: the fourth volume feels much like the three Stieg Larsson wrote. Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist remain recognisably themselves, and the plot of spies and conspiracies stays easy to follow. Some readers find it a touch less gripping than the earlier books. A sound choice for anyone who missed these two and wants more of their world.
