Elliott Chase tells us the tale of a murder on a remote Greek island. Lana, a famous ex movie star, goes on a secluded trip with two of her best friends (one of which being our narrator), her husband, and her son. All is well until gunshots fire and a body is found. The biggest question isn’t WHO got shot but as to WHY they were targeted. 

I’m convinced that I’ll love anything that Alex Michaelides writes. His writing style is what I love most about his books. You can definitely tell that he wrote this one and The Silent Patient even though they have total different plots. His writing style is so captivating and unique. 

This book follows a very non-linear timeline. Elliott takes us in the past quite a bit, right when readers are on the edge of their seats. I feel like this was necessary in order to get the level of character development that it did achieve. 

The Fury is a bit slow paced, but this actually didn’t bother me. I was so invested in the characters that it didn’t matter. The short chapters also made this a quick read, despite the pace of the writing. 

I would recommend this book to those who enjoy plays, theater, and Nick Caraway from The Great Gatsby. I swear Elliott Chase and Nick Caraway are the same people😂
