Publisher's Summary

Lisbeth Salander is a wanted woman. Two Millennium journalists about to expose the truth about sex trafficking in Sweden are murdered, and Salander's prints are on the weapon. Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behaviour makes her an official danger to society - but no-one can find her.

Mikael Blomkvist, Millennium magazine's legendary star reporter, does not believe the police. Using all his magazine staff and resources to prove Salander's innocence, Blomkvist also uncovers her terrible past, spent in criminally corrupt institutions. Yet Salander is more avenging angel than helpless victim. She may be an expert at staying out of sight - but she has ways of tracking down her most elusive enemies.

The pace of the story

Generally this is quite a good story but with an aggravating and unnecessary attempt at an Australian accent… as in the 1st book.

An exciting if sometimes irritating story

Good to be back with the characters in the Millennium trilogy, but once Lisbet is accused of murder things get a bit strange. The stupidity of the police is hard to take and the press attention outright unbelievable. Surely Sweden doesn’t have such an irresponsible gutter press? The whole “lesbian satanist cult” was just too silly. Still, the ending makes up for the middle.

Great follow up

Took a bit of time to get going, but that time was well spent laying the foundation of what was to come. Another rip-roaring story in this series. If you liked The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, then this is sure to please.

Riveting stuff

I couldn’t leave it. Listening at home, listening in the cat and listening while walking. I love my Audible and I love my iPhone.
Now for ‘The hornets nest’. I can’t wait and recommend this series of books for all

Riveting!

This is so good that I listened to it twice. It was actually better the second time because I was more familiar with the characters.
