Too complex and too dark for its own good

Rating: 6/10 (22 December 2019)

Maybe it was the convoluted storyline, maybe it was the complicated family relationships, maybe it was because of the Swedish names, but I had a hard time following what was going on in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Most of time, I just had to take the characters' word that they figured something out. I also had to some reading afterwards. I liked this murder mystery, but it just seemed too intricate (and far too dark) for its own good.
