Summary

A masterfully paced thriller about a reclusive ex–movie star and her famous friends whose spontaneous trip to a private Greek island is upended by a murder ― from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient。

This is a tale of murder。

Or maybe that’s not quite true。 At its heart， it’s a love story， isn’t it？

Lana Farrar is a reclusive ex–movie star and one of the most famous women in the world。 Every year， she invites her closest friends to escape the English weather and spend Easter on her idyllic private Greek island。

I tell you this because you may think you know this story。 You probably read about it at the time ― it caused a real stir in the tabloids， if you remember。 It had all the necessary ingredients for a press a celebrity; a private island cut off by the wind…and a murder。

We found ourselves trapped there overnight。 Our old friendships concealed hatred and a desire for revenge。 What followed was a game of cat and mouse ― a battle of wits， full of twists and turns， building to an unforgettable climax。 The night ended in violence and death， as one of us was found murdered。

But who am I？

My name is Elliot Chase， and I’m going to tell you a story unlike any you’ve ever heard。

"The Fury" is a page-turning thriller， ideal for a beach read。 A lot of other reviews seemed to dislike the red herrings and flashbacks but I thought it was effective and a welcoming change from a linear murder mystery。 Most of the characters felt one-dimensional， the book could have benefitted from bring longer and better explaining their motivations。 But the Hitchcockian plot and twists made for a fun read。Thanks to Goodreads and Celadon for the advanced copy。 "The Fury" is a page-turning thriller， ideal for a beach read。 A lot of other reviews seemed to dislike the red herrings and flashbacks but I thought it was effective and a welcoming change from a linear murder mystery。 Most of the characters felt one-dimensional， the book could have benefitted from bring longer and better explaining their motivations。 But the Hitchcockian plot and twists made for a fun read。Thanks to Goodreads and Celadon for the advanced copy。 。。。more

Well this certainly kept you guessing！ A classic Who did it？ Told by Elliot who you strangely came to love。 The characters were fab， the storyline was clever and it keeps you hooked throughout。

A group of friends on a Greek island， a twisty turny backstory， a murder。 A narrator of the story， but are they reliable， what has really happened and why？Initially I found this a real page turner; with the plot twisting and turning back around。 I liked the voice of the narrator。 However， sudden leaps back into first person narration and uneven pacing became rather jarring。 In the end I felt that I did not really know or understand the characters， most seemed pretty shallow and two dimensional。 A group of friends on a Greek island， a twisty turny backstory， a murder。 A narrator of the story， but are they reliable， what has really happened and why？Initially I found this a real page turner; with the plot twisting and turning back around。 I liked the voice of the narrator。 However， sudden leaps back into first person narration and uneven pacing became rather jarring。 In the end I felt that I did not really know or understand the characters， most seemed pretty shallow and two dimensional。 Perhaps more about who they really were and where they came from， filling out their back stories， would have helped make them more fully realised？ By the last chapters the story felt sillier and sillier。 The Fury promised a lot but ultimately it fell flat。Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an advance copy of this book。6/11/23 。。。more

It started off a bit slow but once you get past the first 100 pages it becomes a murder mystery who did it 。？ Why 。？ They all have motive so who had enough fury to do it 。？ The ending and the epilogue where mine blowing totally made it worth reading this 。。 especially if you’re a fan of his other two books

The Fury， sadly wasn't the book for me。 Although from other reviews I can see that lots of people enjoyed this and maybe I wasn't the right audience for this as I couldn't get into the story or like any of the characters。 Obviously I can tell a lot of people love this and this is solely my opinion so I still recommend this。 The Fury， sadly wasn't the book for me。 Although from other reviews I can see that lots of people enjoyed this and maybe I wasn't the right audience for this as I couldn't get into the story or like any of the characters。 Obviously I can tell a lot of people love this and this is solely my opinion so I still recommend this。 。。。more

I was pleasantly surprised by 'The Fury'- this is my third book by Alex Michaelides， and I would say this is his best so far， in my personal opinion。 It's definitely not perfect - the character development is quite poor here， particularly the narrator of the story - but the story itself is twisty and enjoyable fun。 I could picture this being made into a film， in the same vein as Knives Out， with strong Agatha Christie-style vibes。 The plot keeps you guessing， and throws many twists throughout th I was pleasantly surprised by 'The Fury'- this is my third book by Alex Michaelides， and I would say this is his best so far， in my personal opinion。 It's definitely not perfect - the character development is quite poor here， particularly the narrator of the story - but the story itself is twisty and enjoyable fun。 I could picture this being made into a film， in the same vein as Knives Out， with strong Agatha Christie-style vibes。 The plot keeps you guessing， and throws many twists throughout the story。 I also enjoyed the connection to 'The Silent Patient' （although beware of spoilers if you haven't read The Silent Patient）。 I'd recommend this to fans of murder mysteries and twisty thrillers; I had a lot of fun reading it。 Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced reader copy- due for release February 2024。 。。。more

David ，

Very early on we hear the book is not a whodunnit but a whydunnit… and our narrator takes us in for a back and forth ride which is more an exploration of human psyche and less of an Agatha Christie style murder mystery。 Enjoyable throughout， the book keeps you gripped and entertained - good enough for a quick read。 7 out of 10。 Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy。

Rating: 4。5/5To say that I was underwhelmed by Alex Michaelides' previous novel， "The Maidens" would be putting it mildly。 After the plaudits gained by his debut， "The Silent Patient"， it was a mediocre and disappointing follow-up。 Nonetheless， I don't like to give up on an author just because of one below par performance， so I thought I would see how things fared with "The Fury" - and I am so glad that I did！ This is a far more impressive piece of work。"The Fury" is the English translation of t Rating: 4。5/5To say that I was underwhelmed by Alex Michaelides' previous novel， "The Maidens" would be putting it mildly。 After the plaudits gained by his debut， "The Silent Patient"， it was a mediocre and disappointing follow-up。 Nonetheless， I don't like to give up on an author just because of one below par performance， so I thought I would see how things fared with "The Fury" - and I am so glad that I did！ This is a far more impressive piece of work。"The Fury" is the English translation of the name given to the winds that affect the region where this book is set - though the novel almost certainly also draws its title from a reference to hell having no fury like a woman scorned。 Written in the first person by the playwright， Elliot Chase， we are told that this story ' is a tale of murder。 Or maybe that's not quite true。 At its heart， it's a love story， isn't it？' Well， ultimately， that is for you， as the reader， to decide。Elliot is a glorious creation and takes the concept of an unreliable narrator to a whole new level。 The narrative approach used by the author is both clever and highly amusing。 Elliot is our self-appointed guide through proceedings， who regularly breaks the fourth wall to speak to us， his audience， directly。 I loved the playful approach that the author took with this character。 In spite of repeated promises to be merely the relator of factual events， Elliot cannot help but offer up his own interpretation and opinion on developments。 In fact， he goes further and actually endeavours to orchestrate the drama in the same manner as he would when constructing a stage play。 Readers may love him， loathe him， or perhaps a little of each at various points， but his role at the heart of this story means that you cannot ignore him。As is a common theme with Alex Michaelides， there are references to Greek mythology， but given that much of the action is set on Mykonos， this is entirely appropriate and fitting。 Stylistically， there are some deliberate echoes of Agatha Christie and I was particularly put in mind of "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd"， but with hints of other mysteries too。 "The Fury" may not appeal to everyone， but I suspect that those who do find it to their liking will really， really love it。 I am pleased to say that I belong to the second group and Alex Michaelides has ensured that I will be returning for his next offering too。Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for supplying an ARC in return for an honest review。 。。。more

This is a whodunit book that links a murder mystery with a love story。 We find out early on that there was a murder and all the characters are suspects。 From here follows the narrator’s twisted tale that will eventually solve the mystery。Elliot Chase， the narrator would probably not agree with me since he claims this story to be a whydunit – a character study， an examination of who we are and why we do the things we do。 Sadly， there is not much character study to be found in this book。 All chara This is a whodunit book that links a murder mystery with a love story。 We find out early on that there was a murder and all the characters are suspects。 From here follows the narrator’s twisted tale that will eventually solve the mystery。Elliot Chase， the narrator would probably not agree with me since he claims this story to be a whydunit – a character study， an examination of who we are and why we do the things we do。 Sadly， there is not much character study to be found in this book。 All characters appear to be quite one-dimensional， with perhaps the exception of the narrator himself。 He does his best to analyse his thoughts and actions， which however results in a rather clumsy and superficial exploration of childhood trauma。 Elliot Chase is in his meandering self-righteousness one of the most annoying narrators I have ever come across， which， I guess， is an intended feature of the book， contributing to building his character。 However， there is a fine line to be walked to ensure that the level of irritation does not lead the reader to abandon the book altogether。 I persevered despite all the above misgivings because whilst highly irritated， I was also quite intrigued by the unusual narrative structure of the book。 Give it the benefit of the doubt and make up your own mind。 The narration in this book you will either love or hate – I did not love it but am aware that many readers do。 Maybe it’s me who is the problem – who knows。I am grateful to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

This book was just weird。 I had a hard time getting into it， but when I did I was beginning to enjoy it more。 But the end left me flat。 Not a terrible book， but not great either。

When I started my bookstagram， The Silent Patient was easily one of my favorite thrillers。 I loved the way it was written and how completely shocked I was with the ending。 Unfortunately， Alex’s second book fell flat for me， so I was extremely curious （and pretty excited） to check his third out and see where it landed for me。 And I’m happy to say that I’m pleasantly surprised with this one。 Right off the bat， I was hooked with the way The Fury was written。 I love the whole “creepy narrator/storyt When I started my bookstagram， The Silent Patient was easily one of my favorite thrillers。 I loved the way it was written and how completely shocked I was with the ending。 Unfortunately， Alex’s second book fell flat for me， so I was extremely curious （and pretty excited） to check his third out and see where it landed for me。 And I’m happy to say that I’m pleasantly surprised with this one。 Right off the bat， I was hooked with the way The Fury was written。 I love the whole “creepy narrator/storyteller vibes”。 He did a great job with reeling you in with the way Elliot told his story & how everything unfolded on the island。 I’m a sucker for the “trapped on an island” trope filled with drama， secrets， & lies between a group of people （especially friends）。 The burn was slow， but not slow enough where it felt like it was totally dragging。 Some parts did feel longer than they needed to be， but it also helped paint the picture of what happened on the island。 And the ending was so cleverly written & caught me by surprise。A HUGE thank you to Celadon Books & Alex Michaelides for sending over this ARC。 Check out The Fury on its pub date 1/16/24！ 。。。more

Sometimes， I read a book and I think， "If this wasn't inspired by x， I'll eat my hat。" The Fury is one of those books。 If Michaelides wasn't pulling EXTENSIVELY from Sleuth， I will eat SEVERAL hats。 （Caveat: I've only seen the play， never the various film adaptations。 This isn't a look-how-pretentious-I-am thing; live stuff is friendlier than movies on my ADHD。） Anyway。 The Fury and Sleuth。 Sleuth has been described as a "whodunwhat，" and the narrator of The Fury describes his own story as a "wh Sometimes， I read a book and I think， "If this wasn't inspired by x， I'll eat my hat。" The Fury is one of those books。 If Michaelides wasn't pulling EXTENSIVELY from Sleuth， I will eat SEVERAL hats。 （Caveat: I've only seen the play， never the various film adaptations。 This isn't a look-how-pretentious-I-am thing; live stuff is friendlier than movies on my ADHD。） Anyway。 The Fury and Sleuth。 Sleuth has been described as a "whodunwhat，" and the narrator of The Fury describes his own story as a "whydunit" in what must be an intentional homage。 Both stories make us question who's lying， who's telling the truth， and where the protagonist's "imagination ends and reality begins" （as Wikipedia so helpfully describes the plot of the play）。 Which crimes have been committed？ By the end of the story--either story--you won't be entirely sure。That said， I think Sleuth does this kind of jigsaw puzzle of a plot better than The Fury。 Michaelides needs solidly half the book to get the action going。 Yet I almost put the book down in the first three chapters because the main character， Elliot， is such a piece of work。 Sleuth， on the other hand， takes off like a shot from the very beginning and somehow manages to characterize the main players more vividly。 In sum: Did I enjoy The Fury？ Yeah， mostly， I did--especially in the last quarter or so。 Did it push me to the kind of rapt attention that Sleuth did？ Not really。 As one of many， many Sleuth copycats， The Fury has the unenviable task of standing out in the crowd， but it never quite rises to the occasion。Thank you to Celadon for providing an ARC！ 。。。more

I feel it was an interesting concept but poorly executed。 The plot twists were very predictable throughout and I found myself not really caring what happened to any of them。 It took until almost halfway through for the story to gain a little traction then fell off again。I found I didn't dislike the breaking of the fourth wall as much as I thought I would when first starting。 Overall， there are worse books out there， this just wasn't for me。 I feel it was an interesting concept but poorly executed。 The plot twists were very predictable throughout and I found myself not really caring what happened to any of them。 It took until almost halfway through for the story to gain a little traction then fell off again。I found I didn't dislike the breaking of the fourth wall as much as I thought I would when first starting。 Overall， there are worse books out there， this just wasn't for me。 。。。more

I am a fan of The Silent Patient and The Maidens but I didnt really enjoy this one。 The story is told by Elliot in the style of a narrator， this didn’t work for me and I found it a bit off putting。 I found it a bit of a far fetched ‘whodunnit’ and by the time I got to the end I wasn’t really bothered who was murdered and who did it。 It won’t put me off reading any more of Alexs’ books though， just didn’t like this one。

Thanks to NetGalley and Celadon Books for an advanced digital copy of this book that will be published on January 16， 2024。This book is an Agatha Christie style story with seven people on a secluded private island in which one of them gets murdered。 The storyline was perfectly written with an unreliable narrator。 It kept me totally engaged and I read it in two evenings。

Thank you Simon & Schuster for the free copy for review。 This was one of my most anticipated reads for 2024。 I loved Silent Patient and really wanted to love this one。 I really enjoyed the author’s character build up， but halfway through I found myself bored。 I guessed the twist and did not like any of the characters。 I ended up skimming about a third of the book。 This book fell flat for me。 Do not go in comparing it to Silent Patient。

I received an ARC of this book for free from the publisher （Celadon Books） for promotional purposes。 What a twisty story！I’ve previously read one of the author’s other books， The Maidens， and thought it was good but not great。 I found The Fury to be much better。I really enjoyed the way the story was told。 It was broken up into 5 acts and was told from the point of view of Elliot， an （incredibly） unreliable narrator。 Having Elliot tell the story was the perfect choice。 I liked how conversational I received an ARC of this book for free from the publisher （Celadon Books） for promotional purposes。 What a twisty story！I’ve previously read one of the author’s other books， The Maidens， and thought it was good but not great。 I found The Fury to be much better。I really enjoyed the way the story was told。 It was broken up into 5 acts and was told from the point of view of Elliot， an （incredibly） unreliable narrator。 Having Elliot tell the story was the perfect choice。 I liked how conversational his narration was。 It made the story more engaging。 Every act revealed something new and the twists were revealed at a good pace。I also liked the greek tragedy vibes/aesthetic。 It felt like I was reading a modern day greek tragedy。 As for the rest of the characters， none of them were particularly likable， but I didn’t hate any of them either。 I just didn’t feel attached to any of them or find them noteworthy。 For me， endings make or break a thriller， and I was happy with the ending。 I definitely did not see it coming and unlike The Maidens， it made sense and felt complete。 Overall， this was a very clever thriller。 If you’re looking for a new thriller to read， consider picking up this one！ 。。。more
