Stieg Larsson's first murder mystery has been a smash hit throughout Europe since its 2005 publication in the author's native Sweden, and has now become a bestseller in the U.S. as well. But the bitter twist in Larsson's success story is that he didn't live to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo published: he died of a heart attack just after he delivered the manuscripts for this book and the two that follow. When the most shocking corpse in the drawing room turns out to be the 50-year-old author's, the thrills of crime fiction can take a melancholy turn. But let's try, for the moment, to evaluate Larsson's novel apart from its ill-fated provenance. What is it that's generating so much enthusiasm from a gobsmacked international audience?

    •  The book was average but we always have much fun with the side discussions. I'm fairly certain the group has forgotten that I have boy parts so next meeting I'm coming naked. 
    •  Fun discussion given that the book was enjoyable but not earth-shattering. I put the next few book club meetings on my calendar, so this time it should be less than a year between meetings for me. Looking forward to it! 
    •  I liked it a lot and am looking forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.
