A review by bhavani
The Defenceless by Kati Hiekkapelto

2.0

I feel like I'm on a permanent quest to find a Scandinavian novel to match or even rival The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Unfortunately, I haven't found that book. The Defenceless started off well with its multiple viewpoints, dark early spring days, and numerous dead/missing individuals. But along the way, the story totally fizzled out.
