The Girl Who Takes An Eye For An Eye by David Lagercrantz (Millennium #5)
Lisbeth finds herself in prison but for doing something right! She then starts to stand up to the prison bullies and ends up defending a young woman from being murdered in prison. She is also desperate to get internet access as she is not allowed any in prison as she has uncovered something about herself and her twin sister. Why and how they were separated at an early age but the story actually follows two brothers who were separated at birth.
I think this is probably the poorest of the Millennium books and although I would certainly read another if it were to be written, I think Lagercrantz has taken the story of Lisbeth as far as he can. This is at times very slow and laboured with a meandering storyline that felt far too forced. I can understand why the author and publishers want to keep this going, the original books were a sensation! It now feels like they are cashing in and not really taking the reader too seriously.
It is a must read for completists (like me) but you would have to have read all the others before you open this one.
