About this listen

A chilling DRAGON TATTOO thriller

Change is coming to Sweden's far north: its untapped natural resources are sparking a gold rush with the criminal underworld leading the charge. But it's not the prospect of riches that brings Lisbeth Salander to the small town of Gasskas. She has been named guardian to her niece Svala, whose mother has disappeared. Two things soon become clear: Svala is a remarkably gifted teenager ­- and she's being watched.

Mikael Blomkvist is also heading north. He has seen better days. Millennium magazine is in its final print issue, and relations with his daughter are strained. Worse still, there are troubling rumours surrounding the man she's about to marry. When the truth behind the whispers explodes into violence, Salander emerges as Blomkvist's last hope.

A pulse-pounding thriller, The Girl in the Eagle's Talons sees Salander and Blomkvist navigating a world of conspiracy and betrayal, old enemies and new friends, snow-bound wilderness and the global corporations that threaten to tear it apart.

Critic reviews

Lisbeth Salander is back - and maybe better than ever. Karin Smirnoff's take is both respectful of the past and ready for the future - altogether remarkable. (Lee Child)

Fresh, fearless, faithful and original. Karin Smirnoff takes on a heady challenge and makes a stylish, exciting and truly worthy statement. One of the great crime series of our time could not be in safer, more capable hands. I loved it. (Chris Whitaker)

An absolute incident-packed thrill-ride from start to finish. Karin has taken on the legacy of a legend and done the series justice. (Jo Spain)

A hacker who doesn't hack, a journalist who doesn't investigate. A huge disappointment for fans.

Good addition to the series

I really enjoyed this new episode in the Salandar series. I liked the story, the pace and the introduction to the Swedish tundra.
Bits were far-fetched but old and new friends and foes were well-knitted together in a topical adventure which were reminiscent of what the clash of cultures and pursuit of natural resources have done and are doing elsewhere in the world.
I thought the narrator voiced each character really well and in a considered way and - quite honestly, can’t see what the problem is.

Good sequel, very well narrated

Slow burn doesn’t really get going to around chapter 50. Difficult to follow storyline if your not just listening to it. Not one to listen to while doing something else like housework etc

Slow burn
