About this listen

Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family.

He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from 40 years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history.

But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.

Critic reviews

"I doubt you will read a better book this year." (Val McDermid)

"Intelligent, complex, with a gripping plot and deeply intriguing characters. The author's early death is a great loss." (Philip Pullman)

"What a cracking novel! I haven't read such a stunning thriller debut for years. Brilliantly written and totally gripping." (Minette Walters)

I loved this book! It started off slowly but the tension built slowly and steadily throughout. There were unsuspected plot twists and intrigue by the bucket-load. The Swedish names took a little getting used to but the narrator did a great job. I will be getting Steig Larsson's other books - I can't wait to read the next instalment.

Fantastic Book

Good book, really interesting characters and a somehow a nice change for the setting to be Skandinavian.
The character of Lisbet Salander is original and compelling.
A wee bit slow to start (1st hour or so) but well worth a little perseverance

Whatever the audiobook version of 'page turner'

I have just finished Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. What an unexpectedly delightful book, and what a relief there are two more books after this one. Lisbeth Salander is an unusual, but believable heroine. Saul Reichlin is a master narrator, and I will be searching for any other books he narrates.

Hooked on Stieg Larsson

Loved this book--lots to say about the sociopolitical situation in contemporary Sweden, as well as a strong love story (sort of!), as well as lots of scary stuff, and to top it all off strongly feminist female and male protagonists. I loved the detail--every sandwich eaten is described with the same care as the discussions of computer hacking. The only thing that didn't work for me was that despite an otherwise good reading, the Australian accent is HORRIBLE.

Didn't expect to like this, but I loved it

I really enjoyed this book; loved the narration and was sorry to have it end. I can hardly wait to read the next one and see what else the characters have in store for us.

Great Listening

Admittedly, this book was a little hard to get into at first, and there's more inane detail than necessary at times.

Those things aside, this is a wonderfully entertaining read. The plot is far bigger and more complex than you could hope for, and the cast of characters is rich, diverse and contains some unlikely heroes.

I can't wait to get into the final chapter of the Millennium Trilogy.

Worth the time!

What a thriller! Couldn’t stop listening to this! Will listen to the next book in the series!

Loved this!

i really enjoyed this series of books. having lived near sweden i could also appreciate the pronunciation and work by the narrator. it made it far more enjoyable. my dad found the books a bit wordy and long...sometimes dry, but i think it makes this audiobook that much richer. perhaps more interesting to listen to than to sit and read...

great narrator,entertaining, intelligent and fun

This is my first audiobook, and I don't think that I could have picked a better one had I been trying!

absolutely brilliant

Second run of the Millennium Trilogy - and it still stands as one of the best noir fiction I’ve heard. Perfect voice acting, great story - top notch 👍

Outstanding
