Review previously placed on my blog:

I'm currently reading The half burnt house by Alex North. I'm reading a copy from the library. Reading this for my Authors TBR. This is an adult thriller.

Enjoying this a lot so far. Alex North is one of the few thriller authors I know I can trust to write a good thriller with no problematic elements. In fact this one has some diversity in it, which I think is awesome. It's very casual, but that is exactly what I like for these kind of books. Story itself is really good, it has a lot of elements. Excited to see where it is going.

Well... this went downhill quickly. This book just did not work. Mainly because there were a lot of perspectives and we got to know a lot of information because of that. The suspence was therefore lacking a lot.
