“Rest easy, Lisbeth Salander fans—our punk hacker heroine is in
good hands.... A twisty, bloody thrill ride.... An instant
page-turner.” —USA Today (4 out of 4 stars)
“Excellent.... Anyone craving more Salander bad-assery should get
their hands on a copy of Spider’s Web faster than Lisbeth can hack
into the NSA.” —People
“Salander and Blomkvist are just as compelling as ever.... Fans of
Stieg Larsson’s captivating odd couple of modern detective fiction
will not be disappointed.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York
Times
“Riveting.... Pyrotechnic.... An intelligent novel that has
Salander entangled in one of the most contentious issues of our
times.” —Chicago Tribune
“The Girl in the Spider’s Web is masterful.... Intricate and
ambitious.... Salander is an extraordinary heroine whose hacker
skills are more relevant than ever in an increasingly high-tech
surveillance society.” —The Atlantic
“Lagercrantz has more than met the challenge. Larsson’s
brainchildren are in good hands and may have even come up a bit in
the world.” —The Wall Street Journal
“Lagercrantz’s real achievement here is the subtle development of
Lisbeth’s character; he allows us access to her complex, alienated
world but is careful not to remove her mystery and unknowability.
Lisbeth Salander remains, in Lagercrantz’s hands, the most
enigmatic and fascinating anti-heroine in fiction.” —Financial
Times
“A thrillingly layered book every bit as addictive as the
originals.” —O, The Oprah Magazine

prose more assured than Larsson’s, keeps Salander’s fiery rage at
the white-hot level her fans will want.” —Publishers Weekly
(starred review)

the characters Larsson created while adding interesting new ones

so compelling.” —The Buffalo News
“This whirlwind of nonstop action and intrigue is compulsively
readable to the electrifying end.” —Library Journal (starred
review)
“Fans of the original trilogy will be pleased with [Lagercrantz’s]
new installment. The novel is a smart, propulsive thriller and
espionage tale with a timely digital age plot (think Snowden and
Wikileaks).” —The Hollywood Reporter
“Engrossing.... In spinning a complex and intriguing new chapter in
the adventures of Blomkvist and Salander, Lagercrantz has written a
worthy successor to one of the more uniquely compelling thriller
sagas of his generation.” —Paste
“Lagercrantz pulls it off, and with a great deal of style....
Elegantly paced, slickly executed, and properly thrilling.... A
welcome treat.” —The Guardian
“Passion and fire, check: there are plenty of both here....
Fast-moving, credible, and intelligently told. Larsson fans won’t
be disappointed.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Action-packed and thoroughly enjoyable.... [A] finely-wrought
thriller.... I will eagerly devour the next adventure for Lisbeth
Salander and Mikael Blomkvist, especially now that we know their
fate lies in the hands of a writer worthy of their story.” —William
O’Connor, The Daily Beast
