I also did not like the return of sexual violence in this book. I always felt that Larsson was weirdly obsessed with sexual assault, even for Nordic Noir, and one reason that I liked Lagercrantz's books in the series so much was that his trilogy kept sexual violence to a minimum. Smirnoff lingered less on those scenes than Larsson, but it was there and several scenes were rather graphic.
