The Girl in the Spider's Web by David LagercrantzMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
She is the girl with the dragon tattoo—a genius hacker and uncompromising misfit. He is a crusading journalist whose championing of the truth often brings him to the brink of prosecution.
Late one night, Blomkvist receives a phone call from a source claiming to have information vital to the United States. The source has been in contact with a young female superhacker—a hacker resembling someone Blomkvist knows all too well. The implications are staggering. Blomkvist, in desperate need of a scoop for Millennium, turns to Salander for help. She, as usual, has her own agenda. The secret they are both chasing is at the center of a tangled web of spies, cybercriminals, and governments around the world, and someone is prepared to kill to protect it . . .
The duo who captivated millions of readers in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest join forces again in this adrenaline-charged, uniquely of-the-moment thriller.

This has been on my "TBR" list for ages as I really enjoyed the first 3 books in the series. I did wonder how this one would feel given that it's not written by the same author but I wasn't disappointed.
It was another fast paced book and it ticked the prompt of "futuristic technology" on the 52book challenge as it centred around the development of AI but there was also a lot about hacking and espionage and of course murder.
There are a lot of acronyms used in the book and sometimes it was tricky keeping track of all the various characters so not quite a 5* read for me.
