The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

The genre-defining thriller that introduced the world to Lisbeth Salander

By: Stieg Larsson

Narrated by: Martin Wenner

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

err

the audible is not complete as the book.. its different so i have to follow the book

Great "read"!

I had never read any Larsson's, and was intrigued by this reading. In the beginning, the fact that it's audible makes it hard to follow the various characters, but at an early point it becomes very clear.
I will be downloading the sequels. Good work!
