The first in Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy. Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family.

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.
