The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson

I have to say I'm disappointed with this twist. I know it's not the whole story, but it's resolved abruptly and it just seems a bit lame as far as the solution to the murders goes.

 

I'm talking about Martin Vanger being a serial killer and successor to his father, also a serial killer. Due to the time scale involved, it was fairly obvious that there had to be at least two people in involved. I know we still haven't discovered who murdered Harriet but the fact that Martin just goes off and kills himself (admittedly trying to take out Lisbeth a the same time) was disappointing.

 

I'm planning on knocking it down a star due to what happened to the cat too. I know I was warned about the brutally of this book and all, but...kitty. And kitty we knew. I could deal with the parakeet and the pigeon and so on but poor kitty. And what's with the disposal of the cat's remains?

(show spoiler)

 

I'm also not impressed with Lisbeth's propensity to destroy evidence.

 

I'm hoping I finish this today so I can roll again.
