Publisher's Summary

Salander is plotting her revenge - against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release.

With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.

Critic Reviews

"With the spiky and sassy Lisbeth Salander - punkish wild child, traumatised survivor of the 'care' system, sexual adventurer and computer hacker of genius - Larsson created the most original heroine to emerge in crime fiction for many years." (The Independent)

"Complex, satisfying, clever, moral...a grown-up novel for grown-up readers...this is why the Millennium Trilogy is rightly a publishing phenomenon all over the world." (Kate Mosse)

A bit long

Story line was awesome but the book dragged on with too much detail in some parts.

Characterisations

Loved the series read by the narrator, you were able to follow who was speaking because of the vocalisation and inflection.

What a fitting end to a solid trilogy

Do you start with the ones not written by Stieg or leave it as a stand alone masterpiece. Saul delivers another solid performance.

No complaints here

Another fantastic performance from Saul Reichlin.
A well rounded story that feels like a comfortable ending to a trilogy.
I know there are more books but I feel that this is a good place to stop for me.

Outstanding

Gripping from start to end, without any drop-off between books 1 and 3. Riveting.
