A film star, her husband, her son and her friends - a playwright and a theatre actress visit a remote Greek island with their housekeeper and groundsman in the middle of a storm - but who will make it out alive?
Elliot Page (the playwright), is our narrator and he directly addresses the reader whilst we are both having a drink at a bar. He tells us a story of loyalty, betrayal and murder. I absolutely love this style of narration and felt it kept me engaged at every turn. There are a lot of red herrings, and you were never quite sure what to believe - events would be turned from another perspective often which kept you off-balance throughout.
I really don't want to give too much away, and I'm worried anything else I say might start veering into spoiler territory. The pace is fantastic - there's a lot of twists and turns and I finished the book in two sittings, I could not put it down. I loved The Silent Patient and found this to be just as strong a read - run, don't walk to pick up this book when it comes out in February - it's a Kindig gem for 2024 for sure.
Overall, The Fury is a Kindig Gem for 2024 - it's a pacy read full of twists and turns, and you won't be able to put it down! Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House - Michael Joseph for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

overall underwhelmed
An ex-movie star spends Easter with her closest friends on her private island in Greece. The night ends in murder.
THE FURY is the first book I've read by Alex Michaelides. I was intrigued by the premise, however after reading I was left feeling overall a bit underwhelmed. The narrator promises to tell an epic story of which he continues to hype throughout the book. I found this to be grating after a while rather than keeping things suspenseful. The pacing felt very slow which caused me to struggle with holding attention through much of the book until things picked up toward the end.
Though the writing style wasn't a great fit for me, I'd encourage anyone who finds the synopsis interesting to give THE FURY a try as it may be enjoyed more by others. I'm still interested in checking out the author's other works.
