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)

Love that the narrator is Swedish, makes the placnames so much easier to understand!

I felt that the book never really started, then it was action and it was over. A shame but the story itself is pretty good, I just wanted more happenings, more debth, more feeling - more everything.

It was pretty hard to follow but it is an interesting way of writing and I didn't mind it to much.

Pretty good, well worth the listen.

Not quite a Lisbeth story. Lucky to be included for a third of the book. I didn’t feel the characters were in their true form. Story got there in the end but was disappointed overall

Underwhelming

A good continuation of Lizbit’s ups and downs. Glad I was able to listen to this as the place names would have had me lost.

Continue the saga

It’s too much like past Salander novels, corruption, greed , bribery, etc. But still quite a reasonable read.

Mainly Lisbeth

Interesting story eventually about half way through the book. Read by very monotone, unexpressive voice.

The narration really let this book down. the story itself is very flat and in my opinion is not of the same calibre as the other books in this series. I wasted a credit on this

Disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I was very disappointed in this book It was boring and long winded Nothing like the original Stieglitz Larson series. The reader had a soft hardly audible voice which was uninspiring and irritating,Wasted my money

All over the place. A let down based on previous excellent books. I thought I was missing the point until my wife said the same. Completed only hoping it would get better it didn’t.

Disappointed

Not quite the characters I know but a great plot. Loved the niece too. I liked the narrator though needed to listen quite carefully at times.
Well worth a listen and if there was an 8th I’d read that too.

Entertaining
