Autumn Knight is a marine biologist. She works at an aquarium in Chicago. Autumn carries with her a lost love, one Cory Perkins, who ended a relationship with her that she thought was heading towards marriage. Unfortunately she also witnessed his death, or so she thought until one night at the aquarium she pulls out the body of a man who had been stabbed, only to discover it was Cory. How could this be? He was already dead, wasn't he? This is just the beginning of a web that weaves around one intense and interesting storyline. We meet Boris, a wealthy man who is also interested in marine life and has the largest collection of unusual specimens anywhere. There is a pearl, only one in the world, that belonged to Boris, one that was stolen, and he wants it back. It seems that Cory was involved in the stealing of this pearl and now all eyes are on Autumn, whom they feel certainly must either have the pearl or knows where it is. Now her life is in danger as she tries desperately to figure out how Cory was involved and why, and who killed him. There are many characters in this tale, from a very likeable, smart detective, Eddie, to several, suave, beautiful women in Boris's life, a humorous couple, (or are they?), a fascinating roommate of Autumn's, a young runaway girl, and a would be star named Noah, to name some. All somehow connected to the truth, if the truth is ever found.It seems one answer to a mystery just takes you to another mystery, which was a good thing. The story takes you to Chicago and Hawaii and the author did an outstanding job in describing the locals of each. The mystery is definitely one that has layer upon layer with each character somehow playing a part and I found that each character brought a deeper depth to the story, and added quite a bit of color. Although there were a few that I was left wondering what happened to them at the end. I enjoyed this read, it keep me going and wanting to know the final conclusion. However, it is one that you will need to give your full attention to because of the many players, but I believe it holds a very good storyline and mystery. I also learned some things about marine life, which was a plus. All in all, a great mystery, with interesting characters and locals. A very good read.

The first book in the Millennium Trilogy and what a tragedy that the author died shortly after delivering the books to his publisher. Great story - set in Sweden, so at times you get wayliad with the place names etc. Basically a journalsit is taken to court by a wealthy businessman (who is corrupt) for writing of his financial affairs. Looks like a set up, but as we delve further into the story, more players are involved. The journalist, Blomkvist, is asked by another wealthy retired businessman, to write his family story and hopefully discover whether his grandaughter, Harriet, had been murdered many years ago. Eventually Blomkvist uncovers what actually happened - Harriet ran away and now lives in Australia. She was fleeing from her sadistic father and brother. But Blomkvist still wants a crack at Wennerstrom - the businessman who took him to court, and he starts on this, with the help of Salander, the girl who helped him unravel the Vanger family secrets. Can't want to read the 2nd book.
