This was a gripping, intelligent thriller that kept surprising me. The mystery unfolds slowly but purposefully, and the payoff is worth it. Strong atmosphere, fascinating characters (Lisbeth especially!), and plenty of twists that made me keep saying “just one more chapter.” Can’t wait to start the next book. 5 stars.
This was a good book. Not necessarily topics that specifically interest me but, with how well they were written, it drew me in. Even though I know next to nothing about journalism, hacking, etc., this book explained things like that in simple terms without making it feel “dumbed down.” The author really explains and talks about things in a way that draws you in and hold your interest, even if the topic is something that doesn’t seem intriguing to you in the abstract. The way it ended also encourages me to read the next in the series.
