About this listen

 THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO LIVES ON. The fifth in the Millennium series that began with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - the global publishing phenomenon.

Lisbeth Salander is an unstoppable force: Sentenced to two months in Flodberga women's prison for saving a young boy's life by any means necessary, Salander refuses to say anything in her own defence. She has more important things on her mind.

Mikael Blomkvist makes the long trip to visit every week - and receives a lead to follow for his pains. For him, it looks to be an important expose for Millennium. For her, it could unlock the facts of her childhood.

Even from a corrupt prison system run largely by the inmates, Salander will stand up for what she believes in, whatever the cost. And she will seek the truth that is somehow connected with her childhood memory, of a woman with a blazing birthmark on her neck - that looked as if it had been burned by a dragon's fire . . .

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.

Critic reviews

Some fictional characters prove too popular to die . . . Such is the case with Lisbeth Salander . . . Lagercrantz is doing a wonderful job. It would be hard to imagine a sequel more faithful to its work of origin than this one, which emulates the spirit and the style of the original trilogy.
Expertly told, the plot crackles with life (Geoffrey Wansell)
Lagercrantz's latest Salander novel, is even bolder - if somewhat more fantastical . . . Larsson had grand ambitions for his Millennium series, projecting a total of 10 novels. In Lagercrantz's hands, the series is realizing grand ambitions of another sort . . . The Girl Who Takes an Eye for An Eye intensifies the mythic elements of Larsson's vision. (Maureen Corrigan)
Lagercrantz doesn't falter in the mayhem department . . . Larsson fans certainly won't be disappointed.
Lagercrantz's excellent second contribution to Stieg Larsson's Millennium series . . . twisting plot lines tie together in this complicated, fascinating mystery. As a bonus, readers learn the meaning of the dragon tattoo on Lisbeth's back.
Lagercrantz's compassion for the underdog adds genuine emotion to his baroque plotting. There is much to admire in the way he has grasped a tricky assignment - to continue one of the big­gest hits of recent years. Roll on the next "girl"

The usual Millennium storyline not great but not bad
I don’t think I’ll read anymore if another does come along
Good narration by Saul Reichlin

Although it's not as action packed as it's predecessor, it's still her. I love how we are given more of her back story and reintroduced to some of the former characters from her past, which leads us right into the present day.

You will need to focus and pay attention to the dates. They are very important. This is a slow burn and interwoven storyline, you can't afford to be distracted.

I await the next one with bated breath. I think I know what the main storyline will be. Worth looking forward to.

It's still her!

I thought this book was weaker in its story line than the others in this series. Although well written and narrated I felt that there was I lot of padding in the explanation of details and facts that were irrelevant .

The final count down

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.

Brilliant

this is almost as good as the original trilogy and I would say it is better than the previous salander story with one criticism is that salander doesn't really have much to do in it.

salander is back!
