A spellbinding amalgam of murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue.

It's about the disappearance forty years ago of Harriet Vanger, a young scion of one of the wealthiest families in Sweden...and about her octogenarian uncle, determined to know the truth about what he believes was her murder.

It's about Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently at the wrong end of a libel case, hired to get to the bottom of Harriet's disappearance...and about Lisbeth Salander, a twenty-four-year old pierced and tattooed genius hacker possessed of the hard-earned wisdom of someone twice her age, who assists Blomkvist with the investigation. This unlikely team discovers a vein of nearly unfathomable iniquity running through the Vanger family, astonishing corruption in the highest echelons of Swedish industrialism, and an unexpected connection between themselves.

Review of 'Los hombres que no amaban a las mujeres' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Una trilogía de misterio original y transgresora en el diseño de sus personajes y en el trasfondo social y político que se desprenden de los sucesos narrados. Aunque largos y densos, estos libros atrapan al lector y lo encariñan de unos personajes redondos porque complejos, salpicados de contradicciones morales, pese a lo cual no hay ningún relativismo y emerge perfectamente la diferencia neta entre aquellos que son buenos, porque buenas son sus intenciones, y aquellos a los que les mueve un puro egoísmo retorcido y despiadado. Un misterio de intrigas familiares y políticas, de relaciones tormentosas, de violencia machista y de corrupción, donde se reivindica el papel de un periodismo como contrapoder y agente de justicia social.
