A group of 7 people on a private island not far from Mykonos, Greece. They are Lana Farrer, former Hollywood actress and owner of the island; Jason, her second husband; Leo, her son from her first marriage; Elliott, a close friend and playwright; Kate, a fellow actress and very close friend; Nikos, the island's caretaker and Agathi, Lana's housekeeper. They have travelled to the island to escape the dreary weather in London but there are lots of things going on between several of the people on the island and it leads to murder.

An absolutely fantastic read - loved how it was written from the pov of one of the people on the island as if they were sharing a story with someone.

Thanks to Netgalley, Random House and Alex Michaelides for the ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

I have read the two previous books by this author with mixed feelings, I loved ‘The Silent Patient’ but felt a little let down by ‘The Maidens’. For me this book fell somewhere in between. “The Fury.” is set on an idyllic private Greek island and revolves around a former movie star Lana Farrar. She invites her closest friends for an annual Easter retreat but this beautiful setting hides lies, secrets, grudges, and hidden motives.

The story is told by one of the guests, Elliott Chase and he tells of what happened on the island. What looked to be a dream weekend turned out to be a nightmare when one of the guests is murdered.

I did enjoy the novel but ‘The Silent Patient’ set the bar so high. 3.5 rounded up to 4.

I would like to thank both Netgalley and Michael Joseph for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
