"The Half Burnt House is Alex North at his best - a writer who can terrify you on one page and break your heart on the next." - Steve Cavanagh
"Alex North's best book yet. It's as darkly disturbing as The Whisper Man, and as viciously twisty as The Shadow Friend. But this time there's a premise that will break your heart even as it chills you to the very marrow. Nobody in dark fiction writes family relationships - guilt, fear, loss, and ultimately love - like North, and this is an unputdownable thriller." - Derek Farrell
