"Losing your life is not the worst thing that can happen. The worst thing is to lose your reason for living." - Harry Hole (Chapter 41, S2MN)
Continuing with the seriously compelling Harry Hole series. With Nesbo's books, you have to be on your toes all the time otherwise you could lose your thread.

That is why it makes for compelling fiction.
