@ Frida,
It's definitely a subject that has to be approached with sensitivity. I liked the Millennium Trilogy, but lately it seems like a lot of authors are trying to copy his success by making increasingly terrible things happen to the women in the pages, and it doesn't work that way.

Something else that kills a book for me:
Earlier this year I read Dekker's novel, um... The Bride Collector, I think. I was expecting a CSI-style mystery but instead the author didn't want to do forensic crime and instead wanted to bring in a psychic. Not my thing, but fine.
What I DIDN'T like was that instead of there being no forensic evidence because the killer was just that good or whatever, the detective would walk into a room and just "know" that there was no forensic evidence left behind. And everyone would be all, "Oh, okay", and that was the end of THAT. Annoying in the extreme.
