Recensioner

Alicia is found standing over her husband's body with blood all over her and a smoking gun in her hand. The cops charge her with murder. She does not say anything at all. She is remanded to a psychiatric hospital instead of prison. Theo is a psychotherapist who hopes to help her speak again so she can tell what happened the night her husband was murdered.

Wow! I did not think I was going to like this as I am not a big fan of psychological thrillers, but I LOVED it! I don't want to tell too much because I don't want to ruin it. The writing is phenomenal. It draws you in from the first page. There is so much about the book that I liked and that shocked me. Never saw some of this stuff coming.

WORTH THE READ!

The Fury is a slow burn murder mystery thriller with an isolated, atmospheric setting. Lana Farrar is a famous retired movie star. She has invited all of her close friends to spend Easter with her on her private Greek Island.
Elliot Chase is the narrator of the unfolding events and reveals the background of all the characters and how they come to be on the island. He is the ultimate unreliable narrator and has a confiding, conversational manner. There are seven people on the island when a murder occurs leaving six suspects. A raging windstorm "The Fury" is occurring leaving no possibility of outside help.
The characters are complex and interesting, and the narrative is well written and skillfully constructed. The story is slow to start but ramps up by the second half. The reader is swept up in the unravelling twists and turns. The book is structured like a play in the style of a Greek tragedy. The Fury is a clever and engaging thriller.

Very quickly the book, which I thought would focus on the patient, turned in another direction as it focused on the therapist. I wasn’t sure where it was going until revealed near the end. A really good, well-written read.
