A murder mystery inside an espionage conspiracy wrapped in an
action thriller-a unique concoction that should leave Salander's
legion of followers clamoring for more -- Tom Nolan * Wall
Street Journal *
Larsson had grand ambitions for his Millennium series, projecting a
total of 10 novels. In Lagercrantz's hands, the series is
realizing grand ambitions of another sort. -- Maureen Corrigan
* Washington Post *
He has developed Larsson's rage at right-wing perfidy and men who
hate women, mixing it with his ability to depict physical beauty
and superhuman survival skills to create fast-paced thrillers . . .
The Girl Who Lived Twice is both exciting and disturbing --
Natasha Cooper * Literary Review *
Lagercrantz's compassion for the underdog adds genuine emotion to
his baroque plotting. There is much to admire in the way he
has grasped a tricky assignment - to continue one of the biggest
hits of recent years. Roll on the next "girl" -- James Kidd
* South China Morning Post *
Salander is centre-stage again in Lagercrantz's latest
sequel . . . This is a pacy read . . . while still finding
room for some nice eccentric touches -- Jake Kerridge * Sunday
Express *
David Lagercrantz is a pro. This is stylish, straight
forward, classic Swedish crime . . . supporting characters are
distinctly illustrated, larger than life . . . the dialogue is
voluble; full of knives, Berettas, rich Russians and divinely
gifted hackers. * Svenska Dagbladet *
A book to devour . . . Difficult, or near impossible to put
down, the plot is lavish, complex, remarkably well-composed and
filled with unbearable suspense in certain places * Le Parisien
*
Salander is what she's always been: a force to be reckoned with,
and one of the most remarkable series leads in the history of crime
fiction. Salander fans, who long ago put aside any misgivings
about Lagercrantz taking over the Millennium series, will be eager
to follow the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as she attempts to sweep
clean her family closet. * Booklist *
A tantalizing ending hints at important changes for Blomkvist
and Lisbeth ahead. Series fans will be pleased with the
thoughtful way Lagercrantz develops the character of their beloved
action heroine in this worthy outing. * Publishers Weekly *
The Girl Who Lived Twice is the sixth, last and best from Stieg
Larsson's universe. It is a vivacious and suitable conclusion of
the Millennium saga * Aftenposten *
David Lagercrantz has with professionalism and respect consolidated
Lisbeth Salander as an archetype of current pop culture, and at the
same time written very entertaining novels. * La Vanguardia

uses fireworks to surprise the reader. * El Periodico *
A great novel made of twists and turns, cliffhangers and
detailed researches. Lagercrantz . . . An accomplished and elegant
style . . . One of the most beautiful and innovative series of
the last two decades. * La Repubblica *
Lagercrantz perfectly knows how to embrace the atmosphere and
the suspense of the Stieg Larsson saga. * Corriere della Sera
