An ex-movie star spends Easter with her closest friends on her private island in Greece. The night ends in murder.
THE FURY is the first book I’ve read by Alex Michaelides. I was intrigued by the premise, however after reading I was left feeling overall a bit underwhelmed. The narrator promises to tell an epic story of which he continues to hype throughout the book. I found this to be grating after a while rather than keeping things suspenseful. The pacing felt very slow which caused me to struggle with holding attention through much of the book until things picked up toward the end.
Though the writing style wasn’t a great fit for me, I’d encourage anyone who finds the synopsis interesting to give THE FURY a try as it may be enjoyed more by others. I’m still interested in checking out the author’s other works.
Thank you to Celadon Books for the gifted ARC.
