The Fury

I just finished The Fury by Alex Michaelides and here is my review.

It's murder darling.... But is it really? Who doesn't love a little intrigue.

Lana Farrar was a movie star, a beautiful and talented movie star but she quit acting, got married and every year spends time on her remote greek island with her friends.

One night someone is murdered. Cheating, lying, hidden secrets and so much more, it all comes to a head one night. Can they figure out who the murderer is before they all end up dead?

Anyone who knows me, knows the Silent Patient was my biggest disappointment. I didn't know what to expect from this book but the premise sounded decent so I threw caution to the wind and cracked it open.

First thoughts? I was pleasantly surprised. The book was actually really well paced. I like a book that moves fast and slaps you with little twists here and there. I thought the characters were well developed but unlikeable but relatable and I need that in a thriller. I like how the book was broken up into acts. It made for an exciting read.

The book is narrated by Elliott. A friend of Lana's and he has his own role to play in the night in question. It was all rather clever. I enjoyed it a heck of a lot.

I did not see the end coming which might have made the whole book even more exciting. I finished it in one sitting because I just could not put the dang thing down.

I thought this was an excellent start to the year for me.

4.5 stars
