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.

Critic reviews

Gloriously atmospheric and utterly riveting, this is my favourite Alex Michaelides yet. Readers you are in for a treat! But then what else would you expect from the undisputed master of the twist? (Lucy Foley)
Alex Michaelides hits the trifecta with his third novel, The Fury. The highly original story structure presents the reader with the king of all unreliable narrators, enough twists and turns to power two novels, and a host of characters that bleed right on the page. For fans of erudite, locked room mysteries told with style and theatrical panache, The Fury will deliver, on all counts (David Baldacci)
You'll think you know where it's going and you couldn't be more wrong (Linwood Barclay)

A bit too much for me

My sister recommended this to me and the reviews and title info looked fabulous. I really struggled with it… however I can see why my sister loved it (she is much more cultured than me), I would think it may appeal more to readers who like a heavier storyline and deep psychological character analysis. Sorry 😞

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.

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.
