This article in the Financial Times might be of interest to a
lot of us here. It's about violence, particularly against
women, as it's shown in fiction.

Karen Slaughter's bio (author of the article.)
Karin Slaughter is one of a new breed of women crimewriters,
taking over from the more genteel style of Agatha Christie
and Dorothy L. Sayers. Since her first book three years ago,
Slaughter has shot to the top of the bestseller lists with
crime novels that are full of graphic descriptions of
violence, depravity and blood. Her fourth book, "Indelible"
is just published.
