(Jake Kerridge Daily Telegraph.)Fans of Stieg Larsson\'s captivating odd couple of modern detective fiction - the genius punk hacker Lisbeth Salander and her sometime partner, the crusading investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist - will not be disappointed .
Lagercrantz has caught her superbly, and expertly spun the sort of melodramatic yarn in which she can thrive. . .
