to the book as the serial killers who target women are the focus of the book. The English title actually describes Lisbeth as she is the one with the dragontattoo!!
The English translated version of the next two books in the trilogy will be coming out soon. I can?t wait for the next two fiction of the series. I bet this time round, the story will be focused around Lisbeth, kind of like the switch in the focus from this book. ...
