Summary
The girl with the dragon tattoo is not given to forgiveness.
Lisbeth Salander has been forged by a brutal childhood and horrific abuse. And repeated attempts on her life.
The ink embedded in her skin is a constant reminder of her pledge to fight against the injustice she finds on every side.
Confinement to the secure unit of a women's prison is intended as a punishment. Instead, Lisbeth finds herself in relative safety. Flodberga is a failing prison, effectively controlled by the inmates, and for a computer hacker of her exceptional gifts there are no boundaries.
Mikael Blomkvist makes the long trip to visit every week - and receives a lead to follow for his pains, one that could provide an important exposé for Millennium: Salander tells him to check out Leo Mannheimer, a seemingly reputable stockbroker from Stockholm, somehow connected to the long-ago death of a child psychologist - and to the psychiatric unit where Lisbeth was an involuntary patient as a child.
Lisbeth knows she is coming closer to solving the mysteries of her early life, and even within the confines of the prison, she feels the deadly influence exerted by her twin sister. She cannot stand by as racial and religious conflicts run unchecked amongst the community around her, manipulated by criminal forces far beyond the prison walls.
Salander will stand up for what she believes in. She will find out the truth. Whatever the cost...
The tension, power and unstoppable force of The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye are inspired by Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy, as Salander and Blomkvist continue the fight for justice that has thrilled millions of readers across the world.
Translated from the Swedish by George Goulding.

Brilliant
Really enjoyed listening to this book. I found the choice of narrator a bit odd. The older sounding voice didn’t fit with the lead characters.

Not up to Stieg’s standard ☹️
Having followed all of this wonderful series i was bitterly disappointed with this book.
Far too little Lisbet and far too much A2Z and retail outlet information about Stockholm.
The book failed to flow properly and there were far too many stop start sections taking the reader back to past happenings.
As a film this might work well, as an audio book it sucks ☹️

Disappointing
The storyline was good, the characters were reasonably believable and the portrayal of the characters was very good but it was spoilt by the unnecessary leapfrogging backward and forward in time.I lost track of the different traces of the plot and lost patience. I have up on the book before the end.

Not as good as the last one.
It started off fairly well, but then seemed become a bit disjointed, and often pointless.
Lisbeth was in it very little, and I think the title is somewhat misleading, as she didn't do much.
I was eager to listen to this, as I enjoyed all the previous books, but was left disappointed.

Disappointed
Lacked the excitement of the previous books. a little drawn out.
Lost interest really but pushed on anyway. Didn't get any better.
