***********************
The first book in the Millennium series featuring Lisbeth Salander - the global publishing phenomenon.

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 forty 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.

I was not sure I would enjoy this book but am so glad I purchased it. The book and the narrator were superb. I felt intrigued by all the characters and any interruptions like work, eating or sleeping were very annoying! I also felt that any other downloaded books might be disappointing after listening to this. I have downloaded the second in the trilogy and cannot wait.

Truly wonderful

Utterly gripping,I went on especially long walks so I could listen without interruption. I have just bought No 2 and will have to save it for a long channel crossing!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a great book and a great introduction to the characters that appear throughout the next two books.

What does Martin Wenner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The Swedish names are a bit confusing, it really helps to have a native speaker pronounce them for me!

Good, but not as good as the next one...

the story moved along quickly almost too quickly. there are some segments within the book can could use some more information. the unabridged version is twice as long but will be better than the shorter version.

Wishing I got the unabridged

Truly lives up to the accolades. A stonking murder mystery, reminiscent of Agatha but set in the modern world. Really loved it and really the best book I have read in a long time. Truly wonderful characters, really good plot, twists and a full bodied conclusion, a must read!

Best Book in Ages
