The Girl who Played with Fire

Impressively, all three of Stieg Larsson's books are at or near the top of bestseller lists. I enjoyed the first book, and was looking forward to continuing the series. Unfortunately, the second book's plot involved a pet peeve of mine - detective stories where the detective is framed. I have never liked this kind of story, because watching the investigation unfold when it is obvious to me that they are going in completely the wrong direction just makes me want to scream.

That said, The Girl Who Played with Fire was still well-written, intricate, and with enjoyable characters. I look forward to seeing how it all works out in the third book.
