The Millennium series was a worldwide hit. I read the first three novels about the hacker Lisbeth Salander and the journalist Mikael Blomkvist and really enjoyed the books. The author Stig Larsson passed away before he could finish the planned ten books series, and he newer knew how popular they became. Then came the Swedish movies, followed by the Hollywood version. I saw them all. And then another author took over the writing. David Lagerkrantz. He wrote three books and made a fortune from them. I photographed him by chance last Summer, btw. I read those books as well. But, what I am yet to do is to take The Millennium Tour. If I ever will this is where it starts. At Bellmansgatan, high up on the Mariaberget hill at Södermalm in Stockholm. Because this is where the journalist Mikael Blomkvist lived, in the attic apartment of this beautiful building from 1888.

Wow great place to live.
What a beautiful place. I read Larsson's book plus Lagercrantz's too. Enjoyed them all. I haven't seen any of the movies yet.
What a fabulous building. I've read the first 3 books and saw all the movies but I haven't read the other books.
Beautiful architecture. I've not read the books.
Well now. Maybe if you do a phototour, I'll have to reread the Larsson books. Didn't read the sequels.....Meanwhile, lovely photos.
A very nice building and I think the colours help it stand out.
He lived in a great place. I don't know how I feel about a second author stepping into a wildly popular series created by someone else. Seems like an awfully easy way to make a lot of money.
He made around ten million dollar Jack. And now a third writer has been hired to write the next books in the series.
