After reading just the excerpt, I was completely pulled into the story and the suspense was beautifully created. I am loving thrillers lately and this book is exactly the kind of thing I love! The comparison to Lisbeth Salander is some large shoes to fill, but if any book can do it, this one seems like it can. He's also a debut author so it will be exciting to see how it turns out! I really like the mysteriousness and intrigue of the cover as well.
