I read the crime novel by Val McDermid several times and like the atmosphere and lonely location of the village where the story takes place.
So I was kind of sceptical when I found out about the TV movie, but was pleasantly surprised.
Read the book first and then watch the TV movie as the ending in the movie is different (I like it better than the end in the book). After having read the first volume of Stieg Larsson's Millenium trilogy where he mentions Val McDermid a few times (but never "A Place of Execution"), I understand from where he got inspired for the Harriet Vanger case.
