This started out slow. Slow enough for me to consider stopping. Glad I didn't, it turned out to be a really decent mystery. Felt like it floundered a bit after the big reveal, but that's a small quibble.
Also: someone needs to go through and systematically count how many sandwiches are consumed in the course of this novel.
Post Script Also: What the hell is wrong with Swedish sandwich ingredients? Pickled herring, mustard, and chive sandwich? Stieg Larsson wants you to be acutely aware of how stinky his protagonist's breath must be.
