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)

Best narrating

This is the only book from audible I've ever really been able to focus on every word with ease and interest without zoning out at all. Saul reichlin has done a fantastic job with reading this book. Another narrator I'd listened to on audible for this book was so awful I had to revert backward every so often to try and figure out what was said.

Also a great story told in a simple not convoluted way, but also one of the most intensely interesting.

A Light Thriller

I thought that this was an extremely well written book. The introduction and networking of the characters was executed concisely.
I enjoyed the first part of the story but I did feel that I predicted the ending too quickly for the story to play out. It could had a little more suspense, but that’s me. The ending is also good and I like that it doesn’t stop there.
Overall I highly recommend it.

Saul Reichlin is king.

I knew going in that Stieg Larsson’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and would be a brilliant read, but Saul Reichlin’s performance is in a class of its own.

Fantastic and captivating

I only gave the story a four because it scared the *** out of me.
Saul Reichlin is a very talented Audio-actor.
