The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

The last book of the Millennium trilogy, this one ends the series with both a bang and with a whimper. It's a very slowly paced book (even compared to the first two in the series), and while there is a lot of interesting delving into conspiracy and crime throughout it, a lot of that delving is done through remotely accessing hard drives and setting up private Yahoo groups to share data without being observed, which aren't exactly thrilling ways to advance the plots.

If you enjoyed the first two, you'll definitely want to read this one, but it does have many of the same thematic elements - crusading journalists bringing the truth to light, strong, independent women overcoming the misogyny of those around them, and delving into the dirty secrets that a modern nation can be built upon. Fun reads if you're so inclined (and I am), although each of them could probably stand to be a couple of hundred pages shorter.
