A taunt mystery by a Swedish author is the first of a three-part series. Taking place outside Stockholm, the protagonist, journalist Mikael Blomqvist, has been asked to investigate the disappearance of a Vanger family member, Harriet Vanger. Harriet disappeared during a family get together on their island, cut off from the mainland by a unusual accident on the bridge. She was the sixteen year old niece of a rich and influencial industrialist, Henrik Vanger. Now almost forty years later, Henrick wants to try once again to have help with the investigation, and Mikael Blomqvist agrees, only because he faces a jail term for slander, and he needs time away from his magazine, Millenium, to give the magazine a chance to survive. Another one of my snow books for this winter, the book starts with the end of December, and the time is current. A good well-written novel. No gory stuff has appeared in the novel and I am half-way through. A link to the author's website is embedded in the title of this blog.
