From Little Stack
If your idea of the perfect summer getaway includes crystal-clear seas, impossible wealth, glamorous people and enough simmering resentment to fuel a dozen murders, The Fury deserves a spot at the top of your reading list. Michaelides whisks readers away to an exclusive Greek island where a small group of friends gather for what should be an idyllic holiday. Of course, this is a thriller, so paradise quickly turns into a pressure cooker. Everyone has secrets. Everyone has an agenda. And someone is determined to settle old scores.
What makes The Fury so much fun is that it constantly keeps you guessing. Michaelides plays games with the narrative, dropping clues, pulling the rug out from under your theories and making you question everything you thought you knew. The island setting only adds to the tension. There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide and no escaping the explosive fallout once the truth starts to surface.
Packed with sharp dialogue, larger-than-life characters, and deliciously twisted revenge, The Fury is the kind of book that's impossible to put down once the sun starts setting.
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 sensation: 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.
