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)

A perfect combination of story writing and telling

Larsson has written one of the finest mysteries of all time. Reichlin somehow managed to add beauty to it.

Gripping story, wonderful narration

The story is gripping and the author has narrated in a slow and steady manner. The reader does a fantastic job of keeping us engrossed. Overall happy I picked this one... Only one con, this novel is actually multiple plots combined together... 3/4 of this book is on the main plot which kind of climaxes and then there are 3 more chapters to close out other threads... that is kind of dragging.. Anyways this novel made my commute a walk in the park.

compelling read

this is the first audible in years that held my attention right through and almost non-stop. There is so much packed into this book of greed, brutality, unexpected tenderness , extraordinary love and the utter surprises the human mind throws up! all in all fascinating and calling it a gripping listen is an understatement. as an audio book, its brilliance is enhanced by the actor who read it out so well making it an unstoppable listen!

Story is quite gripping.

Any audio track quality depends on the way it's narrated. Narration is quite good 😊

Compelling, Clever, Crisp

I loved the characters but the mystery itself was not very impressive. Good, quick read.

Really good story and even better narration.

The story is really good but for me the narrator was even better. I will definitely recommend this one. One credit well spent.

Late pickup but made the end great

The book starts off at a slow pace showing the characters. It's much later in the second half the pace gets picked up and gets going good
Overall good listen
