About this listen

 ***********************
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...

I just loved every single minute of the listen.It was one of the best audiobooks ever.The pace was just right and the characters were fasinating.
I have listened to 100s of audiobooks and this is in my top 3,and maybe my number one.I will not talk about the plot as you will have to listen so you to, can enjoy the brilliant story.
I want to know if this is a trilogy,where are the other 2 books as I was very keen to hear them and when I looked they were nowhere to be seen!!Please audible bring them on.

This is the first part of what I hope will be an excellent triology. Mikael Blomkvist, a journalist who is found guilty of slander, is persuaded to take on a job for Henrik Vanger a powerful industrialist. His cover is to write the story of the company, but more importantly Vanger wants him to find out who killed his granddaughter who disappeared 40 years previously. It is a cold trail set in a cold Swedish winter.

Investigating the rich and powerful members of this large and rather poisonous family brings trouble as well as a smart surveillance agent, Lisbeth Salander, into Blomkvist's investigation.

An interesting, well-told and well-read story with its nail- biting moments, makes this author an excellent discovery. Not to be missed in its own right, this book sets a high standard for the rest of the trilogy, whenever the other books are publish.
