Lisbeth was just introduced into the plot line of the story as a girl who is edgy, but at the same time is very intelligent and able to solve cases very well.
How is Lisbeth able to solve the cases that well? And who does she get her sources from? Is she really as trustworthy as she seems? How is the relationship between her boss and her going to develop throughout the story?

The pattern that I notice is that each chapter specifically targets a part of Blomkvist's life that may or may not affect him at that moment. For instance, at the beginning of the book, the court case between him and Wennerstrom was not explained until later in the book. In the second chapter, it talks about how Lisbeth Salander is introduced to a research squad. If my prediction is correct, then Salander will somehow be connected to Blomkvist through a case. I predict that this structure will continue throughout the story, which will create many plot twists.
