Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Totally original and utterly compelling, with a voice all of its own, this is the outstanding new thriller from the no.1 internationally bestselling author of The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides.
This is a tale of murder.
Or maybe that's not quite true. At its heart, it's a love story, isn't it?
One spring morning, reclusive ex-movie star Lana Farrar invites a small group of her closest friends for a weekend away, on her small private island, just off the coast of Mykonos.
Beneath the surface, old friendships conceal violent passions and resentments. And in forty-eight hours, one of them will be dead.
But that was just the beginning...
You may think you know this story. Think again.

Slippery tale of murder & betrayal
Very Patricia Highsmith-esque, which is a huge compliment. Fantastic narration and a twisty, dark dark story about some very tricky characters. I loved it.

Not what I expected
Great narrator. There were times when I thought I will never get to the end. Quite a self consumed story.

Twists!
This links up with the other 2 books from the same author, loosely but nicely. But it’s still a story that stands out on its own. I was captivated by it.

So many twists
So much back and forth. A bit too much but very well narrated and no difficulties with changing characters. I thought I would love this book a bit more than I did.

Another clever storyline
Alex Michaelides is a wonderful story teller, not a word is wasted and I am easily drawn in, however The Fury didn't quite hit the spot and I was slightly disappointed by the denouement, simply because I had no empathy with any of the characters, which I think was quite deliberate. I am not convinced the author liked these characters either.
I had just finished The Silent Patient and I wanted The Fury to be equally gripping, I almost feel I listened to these books in the wrong order, but then the last few sentences would not have made sense.
I will read more.
