About the author

Karin Smirnoff (b. 1964) lives in the small village of Yttre Hertsånger, in northern Sweden. She worked as a journalist before she decided to change direction and bought a wooden factory. After a few years Smirnoff yearned back to the practice of writing and decided to pick it up again – but this time in literary form. She applied to Lund University’s Writer’s school with what would become her debut as an author: My Brother. It received triumphant reviews and was nominated for the esteemed August Prize in 2018. The following year Smirnoff returned with My Mother and in 2020 she ended the trilogy about Jana Kippo with Then I Went Home Smirnoff brought something entirely new into the literary field with her immensely appreciated trilogy that has sold more than 500 000 copies in Sweden.

In 2021 Karin Smirnoff was announced as the author to continue the legacy of Stieg Larsson’s Millennium series.

Reviews

[Riley O'Neil · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was very confused at the end. I read all the Lisbeth books as they came out, so it has been a while and I may have forgot who was good and who was bad. But the ending is also really lame with who survives and who doesn't. I also think the book was rushed. Things were not laid out well.

I absolutely loved the first three books in this series, but after Stieg Larsson's passing, the current authors are not giving his books justice
