The Girl Who Played With Fire

By: Stieg Larsson

Narrated by: Saul Reichlin

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 Girl who played with fire

Stig Larson's books will be with me forever. I will listen to them again and again.

Great story

If you like a exciting book this is the one for you

Also great story teller!!!

Cliffhanger blockbuster

What a roller coaster! 2nd time listening to the original trilogy, and this is still top notch. Great characters, careful story building, awsome plot. Cannot recommend this enough for noir fiction lovers

Can't get enough, where's the third book?

I absolutely loved this! Fabulous, Fantastic, I can now understand why this trilogy has sold over 12 million books. Brilliant, do yourself a favour, read Stieg Larsson

One of my top ten audiobooks

This too-short series is a terrific read/listen. The characters are are rich, vital, and quirky with distinctive character flaws that make them incredibly tangible. The balance of character development and driving storyline is flawless. I found all three of the books very hard to stop listening to and the characters and their predicament stayed with me even when I wasn't listening. Once you've read one, you won't be able to stop and you'll be sorry when they're over.

Good but far to graphic for me

The series is great, just a little to believable and graphic. It follows on well from the rpevious books, but I am afraid I did not like many parts due to the depth of voilence and calousness.

Loved it!

Beautifully narrated and a fantastic story. Kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Intricate plot but not so complex that it was difficult to keep up with. Characters wonderfully 'drawn', flawed yet still likeable. I will listen to this, and the two subsequent books, again. Well worth the listen

Great!

Great book! You won't regret reading or listening. Narration was surprisingly good.

Only wish the author was still with us.
