My Amazon Review of David Lagercrantz's "The Girl Who Lived Twice"


A Good Airplane Read

This book is David Lagercrantz’s third addition to Stieg Larrson’s Millennium series with star characters Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Bloomqvist. Although not as good as the originals, Lagercrantz does a very credible job in keeping the series going.

The story begins with the mysterious death of a beggar in Stockholm.  From there we run into Sherpa mountain guides on Mount Everest, Lisbeth’s evil sister, Russian internet trolls, high Swedish government officials, and a prima donna celebrity and although not directly on stage, we have a Donald Trump-like hotel mogul with links to the Russian mob. All in all that makes for a pretty good story.

I read the book on a transatlantic flight and it helped make the time go by quickly making it a good airplane read.
