I thought they were very well written. Did you read it in Swedish or translated?
Growing up in Sweden, I discarded several authors as mediocre or worse, only to discover when I grew up and was able to read them in English, that they had merely been unfortunate victims of a barely competent translator.
And the Salander books are not sci-fi
