Having loved THE SILENT PATIENT, thought THE MAIDENs was ok, I wanted to read Michaelides new book, THE FURY, to see if it would capture’s my attention like his first book did. I thought it was going to do so until it didn’t.
Elliot Chase, the writer, is the narrator. The setting for most of the book is set on an island. Right from the beginning, it was difficult to figure out which character the reader could believe. Stories keep changing! Lana, an actress decides she is inviting Kate, also an actress who has had an affair with her husband, Jason, their son, Leo, and Elliot to spend Easter on an island that was given to her as a wedding present.
The story just gets to weird for me. It is like Elliot, as the writer, is writing a script of what happened on the island over and over again about the murder that happened. I don’t want to say anything more as it is confusing as to what the reader is supposed to believe. You will need to decide for yourself. My thanks to BookishFirst, NetGalley, and Celadon Books for an ARC of this book. The opinions in this review are my own.
