Synopsis "The Fury"
It begins with a phone call. And it ends with a murder . . .
Seven friends gather on an idyllic Greek island.
Among them: the actress, the playwright, the housekeeper, the second husband and the wayward son.
There’s jealousy, betrayal, unrequited love, a handful of secrets and too many lies.
Thirty-six hours after they arrive one of them will be dead.
You’ll never guess who. You’ll never guess why.
Infinitely thrilling and delicately crafted, the plot keeps everyone guessing until the very end, with an unscrupulous villain to underline just how good it is. Do no miss it - Daily Mail
Gloriously atmospheric and utterly riveting, this is my favourite Alex Michaelides yet. Readers you are in for a treat! But then what else would you expect from the undisputed master of the twist? - Lucy Foley
Deliciously twisty and fiendishly clever. A highly enjoyable tale of subterfuge, secrets and murder - Observer
Alex Michaelides hits the trifecta with his third novel, The Fury. The highly original story structure presents the reader with the king of all unreliable narrators, enough twists and turns to power two novels, and a host of characters that bleed right on the page. For fans of erudite, locked room mysteries told with style and theatrical panache, The Fury will deliver, on all counts - David Baldacci
You'll think you know where it's going and you couldn't be more wrong - Linwood Barclay
The Fury by Alex Michaelides is a proper, grown-up thriller that exudes class from every page. So much more than a murder mystery, every twist and turn is simultaneously a total surprise and completely inevitable. The writing is perfectly sparse, yet cloaks a narrative of rare complexity. So many contradictions, yet all unite in a devastating whole. The Fury is a very special book and highly recommended - Janice Hallett
Another breathtakingly twisty thriller. Takes the classic murder mystery and twists it into something devious and enthralling and consistently surprising - i
This is a masterclass in suspense. A unique and captivating narrator takes you on a journey filled with twists and finely drawn characters you will treasure. This is probably his best book. Not to be missed - Steve Cavanagh
A glorious triumph - just brilliant - Stephen Fry
Audacious, twisty, compelling, and full of the joyous verve that one only finds in the very best storytelling, this is the best novel yet from Alex Michaelides - Sophie Hannah
Michaelides takes the formula and has fun turning it inside out. Think Patricia HIghsmith meets Noel Coward - Mail on Sunday
