Recommended by Roxane Gay, who has never steered me wrong.

Interesting start to the series, central character like a hard core Lisbeth Salamander from Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Perhaps nots as well drawn though

Heckuva ride. Vanessa Michael Munroe is Lisbeth Salander with a healthier mental state (not saying she's perfectly well adjusted...she's just better adjusted). Same intensity, same ferocity, same tenacity. A character you want to see more of.

I think the novel had a couple too many twists and turns–don't ask me which could be cut out w/o sacrificing the whole, though. But really, if my major complaint about the novel is that the mystery is too complex, keeps you guessing too much? Is that really a knock?
