Publisher's 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)

Oh dear, not great

Unfortunately I think the author should have stopped after The Silent Patient (if you haven’t read that, you definitely should read it instead of this one).

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Convoluted & delivered poorly

I had high expectations of this book having read this author previously. Unfortunately The Fury fell very short. He’s trying to be too clever, which has lead to a convoluted and quite weak tale. Very 2 dimensional. Even the island on which half of this story takes place, could have been a stronger setting or its own character…fail. The narration was monotone, shallow and boring. Disappointing
