Thanks for the background info. I just found out today there's a 5th book. I'm sure I had seen it before, but I'd forgotten about it. From what I've read, Lisbeth isn't a prominent character in the newer novels, which is a bummer.Yeah. Big disappointment in my opinion. The authors name is David Lagercrantz. He was commissioned by the brother and father of Larsson to milk some money out of the characters. He has also written a fifth book in the series which i probably wont read. His partner, the woman Larsson lived together with for many years was very much against it (she had more than a finger in Larssons writing) but was neglected. I agree the first is best, the second is a little let down while it gets better again in the third though not as good as the first.
