Story
When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were murdered in the same area, the remote and bleak Gibbet Fen. When the main suspect was killed in a hit-and-run, the killings stopped. But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught. Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life.

Story
A band of savage 13-year-old boys reject the adult world as illusory, hypocritical, and sentimental, and train themselves in a brutal callousness they call 'objectivity'. When the mother of one of them begins an affair with a ship's officer, he and his friends idealise the man at first; but it is not long before they conclude that he is in fact soft and romantic. They regard this disallusionment as an act of betrayal on his part - and the retribution is deliberate and horrifying.

Publisher's Summary
Mikael Blomkvist is contacted by renowned scientist Professor Balder. Fearing for his life, but more concerned for his son's well-being, Balder wants Millennium to publish his story.
More interesting to Blomkvist than Balder's advances in Artificial Intelligence, is his connection with a certain female superhacker.
It seems that Lisbeth Salander, like Balder, is a target of ruthless cyber gangsters that will soon bring terror to the streets of Stockholm, the Millennium team, and Blomkvist and Salander themselves.

Struggled through to the end
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The narrator was grating. I'll not purchase another read by the same narrator. Book was not well written; certainly not even close to Stig Larsen's style.

She's back...kind of.
The writing style plays down the dark tone of the previous entries, the pacing is off and takes quite a while for the story to get into gear. Blomkvist serves no better purpose than a plot deceive of just sitting and listening to other people talk for readers sake. Salander shines when finally introduced and her character is still true, but I didn't agree with, or think it necessary, the author answering certain aspects of her life. The modern pop culture references also felt very very out of place.
It has its moments in the middle but overall it could have been better.

Mixed Feelings: a fair effort but not Larsson
This attempt to recreate and continue Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy irritated me early on by seeming to dumb down the character of Blomkvist to make the plot work. Despite this the plot overall is fairly interesting and the book is a satisfying 'read'.
However, I suspect Lagercrantz cannot replicate the depth and possibility of the Salander character, which was one of the main attractions of the trilogy.

Disappointed in the performance.
The story is interesting but not a well constructed as the Larsson writings. The narration was very disappointing. Had I started with this book, I would not have purchased the series.

Product placement
I cannot understand how this scored 4/5 stars. Perhaps all the product placement paid for the rating?
First of all, I miss Simon Vance but in a way I’m also glad he didn’t put his good name to such an atrocity of writing. Saul Reichland has a very limited and uninspired range. I found it difficult to distinguish between characters and I found our favourite characters to be stilted.
Second, there’s the ralationships between established characters. It’s almost as though Lagercrantz felt he could do a better job than SL and strove to fix whatever holes he felt SL left in the first couple of books by overcompensating in this one. He tries to reshape relationships and events to suit his opinion of the story. E.g. According to Lagercrantz, Beckman actually doesn’t care for Berger’s relationship with Blomkvest at all. In fact, apparently he quite resents it. (Apologies for misspelling their names.) I feel this doesn’t at all mesh with the little we know of Beckman.
Third, there’s the writing style. At first I contributed it to a bad translation but soon it became evident that the problem lay in the fact this is just poorly edited fan fiction. EVERY character has a back story and we are forced to endure it before we even get to the main story. Way too much detail goes into insignificant stuff, like Blomkvest gave a glancing review of someone wearing jeans and shirt, casual compared to his usual garb. A couple of minutes later we are forced to endure paragraph upon paragraph of the subject’s decision to wear each article of clothing. Every dialogue is overwinded, with one character speaking to the other as though he or she is entirely new to the subject, recapping events we have all read through or they already lived through together.
I’m sure there are many more points to be made about why this is terrible but honestly it’s just not worth the time or effort to lay it out there. I won’t be continuing with the series and I will be requesting my credit back, please.

Good story, but too much fluff
I struggled to finish. The story was punctuated by lengthy, boring conversations and pointless details.

Not great.
Doesn't stand up to the first 3. The plot felt over explained, characters would ask leading questions so other characters could supply background. It felt lazy and overly sentimental. Her smile resorted his faith in God... Just tripe.

Slowly Deep
close to give up first half, drags with actionless details. missed the speed and originality. still worth a listen but takes belief in two main characters who don't seem to take centre stage as much.

A credit
If you could sum up The Girl in the Spider's Web in three words, what would they be?
Perfect number four, and a Job well done to the author. Superbly read just as the rest of the books in the series. Love love loved it.
