(The fifth installment in the series was published just before the Harvey Weinstein revelations in late 2017 – and well before the Kavanaugh hearings – so it’s especially exciting to have our favorite #MeToo activist operational again.) Salander, who rises to Hannibal Lecter status as one of the most memorable characters in contemporary fiction, is the main attraction of the Dragon Tattoo books. Genius hacker Lisbeth Salander is back as well, meting out her unique version of vengeance to men who mistreat women. The intrepid Blomkvist, who was once depicted in a Dragon Tattoo movie by Bond actor Daniel Craig, always gets the story he’s seeking and somehow manages to have a lot of sex along the way and survive the occasional kidnapping and torture, too. Investigative reporter Mikael Blomkvist returns just in time to shore up beleaguered journalists everywhere who need an indisputable hero after enduring Trump’s war on truth and malicious “enemy of the people” rhetoric. What an opportune moment for the release of the sixth book in the best-selling Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. The Girl Who Lived Twice by David Lagercrantz
