The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest (original title in Swedish: Luftslottet som sprängdes, lit. 'The castle in the air that blew up') is the third novel in the best-selling Millennium series by Swedish writer Stieg Larsson. It was published in Swedish in 2007; in English, in the UK, in October 2009; and in the US and Canada on 25 May 2010. The three novels in the series, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2005), The Girl Who Played with Fire (2006), and The Girl who Kicked the Hornets' Nest were written by Stieg Larsson before being shown to a publisher and were published posthumously after his fatal heart attack in 2004. Additionally, all three novels were adapted as films.
Gelungener Abschluss der Trilogie, alle offenen Fäden wurden zusammengeführt. Durchweg spannend, obwohl man (fast) zu jedem Zeitpunkt weiß, was die jeweiligen Parteien vorhaben. Sehr zufriedenstellendes Ende, besonders wenn man bereits während der vorherigen Teile mitgefiebert hat, auch wenn sich das Buch auch als Einzelwerk recht gut lesen würde.
