An investigative journalist doesn’t adhere to the “show, don’t tell” creed of the fiction writer. A journalist’s creed is more like “tell, clarify, prove, cite, reiterate.” When a writer moves from journalism to fiction without swapping in the appropriate creed, the result is prose so burdened by over-explanation that it threatens to overshadow the action it’s describing. Such is the Millennium trilogy by investigative journalist Stieg Larsson , composed of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo , The Girl Who Played With Fire , and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest , which currently sits atop every bestseller list in the country.
