Publisher's Summary

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)

Saul Reichlin is a very talented Audio-actor.

Amazing book with a great narrator

Perfect murder mystery with some modern twists definitely worth a listen pace was a little slow and pauses were a bit long but other than that it was awesome

Fantastic Book

Firstly I’d like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Saul’s audio acting. His voice made concentration easy and I never found myself getting irritated with the reading.

The plot of the story was very well executed. It was well delivered and easy to follow. I did however find at times that the author took a little too long to get to the point.

Overall, I felt like this book was a great use of my time and I look forward to the next in series.

Enjoyed this book

Slow at the start, and to build into the story. A lot or foreign names and characters to absorb, until the characters came together and the story line got going. Glad I persevered as I loved the main character and her kick ass attitude. Will def read the sequel
