The Girl in the Spider's Web by David Lagercrantz

Stieg Larsson died in 2004.  His "Millennium" series, probably better known as the Lisbeth Salander trilogy, was published after his death from a heart attack.  A fourth novel remains unpublished.  I feel this novel is being marketed as that "fourth" novel.  In fact, an entirely separate author wrote this one, hired by Larsson's publishing company, likely to keep the Salander name fresh as the fourth novel remains embroiled in court battles over Larsson's estate and works.  It was a mistake.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remains one of my favorite books. Its sequels, The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, were not as good in my opinion.  Larsson died without finishing any of them.  According to his fiance, there are rough outlines of what would be 10 Salander novels on his computer.  I do not believe he intended the novels to be published at all, and that books 2 and 3 were nowhere near complete as thought. 

Now we have a problem in that many questions left unanswered have been, even though they may not fit in with what Larsson had planned!  The biggest being Lisbeth's sister Camilla.

Wholly unimpressed.  Waaaayyyyy too much fluff, not enough Lisbeth.
