About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The instant New York Times bestseller, January 2024, and Sunday Times bestseller, February 2024
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.

Fairly Disappointed
Having read The Silent Patient and Maidens, I had high hopes for this one too, especially because the plot kind of seemed inspired from an Agatha Christie Novel; a group of people on a deserted island and one of them is murdered, and everyone had a motive and is a suspect blaming the other person. To be honest it was a mix between ‘And then there were none’ and ‘Glass Onion: A Knives out Mystery’. But unlike them, there were way too many plot twists that just kind of kept jumping back and forth and the climax was not worth it. It had the potential to be much better. The Narrator spends way too much time setting the scenes and context which just don’t really seem necessary and the wait did not pay off.

Good one
"And we all love a good listener, don’t we? God knows, we spend our whole lives not being heard."
After blowing minds worldwide with 'The Silent Patient', Alex Michaelides is back with his third novel, and boy is it something different. I absolutely adore that book and I jumped into The Fury with so much excitement.
The story is about a select group of friends being invited by former movie star Lana Farrar, for a retreat on a private Greek island. One of them is murdered on the island, and there has been no intruder on the island. The psychological thriller explores not the whodunnit but whydunnit.
What I absolutely adore about this book -
It is the writing. Brilliant narration, quote-worthy dialogue and an unreliable narrator that talks to us. The conversational style makes the book much more personal as if we're on the island with this group, or as if the narrator is actually telling us the entire plot while seated in a bar, or like watching a movie! I enjoyed the setting, the storyline and how each and every single one of the five acts had a unique twist. The short chapters kept me turning pages.
What bothered me was the slow pace for a thriller and the redundancy of events, a bit of filler like a whole chapter about what this story would have been like, had it been an Agatha Christie novel. That's cool in a way, though. See, I had mixed feelings about the book, which had me take more than two weeks after I finished the novel, to write this review.
It didn't have my desired pace but yes, it's still a worthy read, for the love of brilliant and gripping narration. Packed with a curious storyline, impulsive characters, twists after twists and a mind-blowing discovery at the ending. Definitely unputdownable. Oh and the audible Audiobook is praise-worthy.
