Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority who have allowed the vulnerable, like herself, to suffer abuse and violence. And, on her own, she will plot revenge—against the man who tried to kill her, and the corrupt government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life.

Once upon a time, she was a victim. Now Salander is fighting back.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

I just finished TGWKTHN and I am nothing but pleased. My only regret is that the story is finally over. Blomkvist and Salander continue to be among my favorite characters in all of literature. If you have not begun to read this trilogy I would highly suggest the Audible version. Simon Vance has done as good a reading as I have heard to date.

Worth the wait!

You'll be clueless if you pick this up before the first two. I'm only partly into it, but it is essentially page 631 and on from "....played with Fire". If you haven't read (or better yet, listened to) the first two, do yourself a favor and do so. Really great reads. I'm already regretting the Salander saga is ending.

Better read the first two....

A moving ending to a thrilling tale. It is tragic that Larsson died so young and will not be able to finish the other 6 novels he outlined.
The reading of all three audible books in the series was superb and enhanced the narrative.
Well done.

Great Series with Wonderful Ending

Wow!! Just finished this last of the three Larsson books. It is so very unique and perfectly done in every way. The narration is as good as it gets. Make sure you listen to the three in order but do listen. They are exceptional and a great way to pass time.

Don't miss this one!

I was thrilled to be able to download this third in the series by Stieg Larsson before a long 5 week sailing trip. A fairly satisfying trilogy, although I think the first two were a bit better than #3. It is clear that editing was needed to produce a more polished novel.............but the author's book was published posthumously before he had completely finished the book. So we are left with a slightly drawn out version of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. Simon Vance is fabulous as the narrator.

And the Finale
