5 Book Series to Read If You Like The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

Christine Falls is the first in Irish author Benjamin Black's seven-book Quirke series, and its dark story will stick with you. Set in 1950s Dublin, the series, like many others, follows a hardened and grumpy male protagonist with his own personal demons; in this case, it's a pathologist named Quirke. In the inaugural novel a murder of a young woman leads to the discovery of a coverup that involves the Catholic church and Dublin's high society.
