The Defenceless by Kati Hiekkapelto, David Hackston
4.0
A step up
I enjoyed the first book of this series but this is a real step up. They managed to maintain the themes of immigration and belonging but this time the main mystery of the story was also intriguing.
I liked getting more of Esko's perspective although I think it will be very difficult to redeem him.
I also found the translation a lot smoother although I'm still having a bit of a problem with some of the names. Listening to this on audio helped with that.
A great Nordic Noir with some fantastic characters.
