As much as I usually steer clear of crime stories, these books are great. I think I mentioned Girl with the Dragon Tattoo once before and The Girl Who Played with Fire is the recently released sequel. Author Stieg Larsson passed away prior to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's publishing but had just delivered this book and two subsequent books with the same characters-- The Girl Who Played with Fire and another to be released in the next year -- right before his death. Translated from the Swedish, both of these books are terrific! Great plots, engaging characters and lots of Swedish names and locals. I'm confident that you all would really like them and appreciate their originality.
I never read books in the car but I actually read this on the way home from the lake house today (no worries...I wasn't driving) and not just because it was a 14-day book from the library and due back in a couple of days!

Oh good, I want to read these! My mother-in-law (look at me: a wife!) had a copy at her house and she had mentioned that she liked it too. I read/finished/started "Confessions of a Shopaholic", "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan", and "Shopaholic Ties the Knot".
Ha ha isabug! Knew you would love them. Where did you buy Ties the Knot?
I got them at B&N. David was able to find the location very quickly.. sorry Mere!
Hahaha... all our book conversations keep going back to Sophie Kinsella! Mom, did you send Isa the one you gave me?
And was EVERYBODYELSE just as stressed out as I was while listening to (or reading) "Ties the Knot." I had it on ipod in the workshop... that week was intense.
They stress me out to no end.. ah!
Ties the Knot is my favorite of them all! I was very sorry Isabug hadn't read it before she got married...
Yeah, it was really good. It's fun vicariously living (and stressing out) through that Becks.
I'm now trying to imagine Isabelle and David in that book in place of Becky and Luke. hehehe. It's more like a comedy act though.
Hahaha... I am hilarious ;)
