An exhilarating, gripping new psychological thriller from the author behind the record-breaking, multimillion-copy bestseller, The Silent Patient
This is a tale of murder.
Or maybe that's not quite true. At its heart, it's a love story, isn't it?
One spring morning, reclusive ex-movie star Lana Farrar invites a small group of her closest friends for a weekend away, on her small private island, just off the coast of Mykonos.
Beneath the surface, old friendships conceal violent passions and resentments. And in forty-eight hours, one of them will be dead.
But that was just the beginning...
You may think you know this story. Think again.

This is a love story.
This is not a love story.
Its tragedy, bereavement and guilt. The questions that we normally ask, 'Who did it?' 'Why did they do it?' or 'How did they get away with it?' no longer apply.
The questions you should be asking are 'What does love have anything to do with one being a murderer' and 'Why Lana?' - Andrea (QBD)

The way Alex Michaelides' The Fury opens by saying it's about to break a taboo, that it's on purpose and for good reason sets a strong rule-breaking tone in the book, with its unique, play-like five act structure, constant twists, non-linear story-line and unreliable narrator. - Sam (QBD)

Michaelides' new thriller starts off with a bang, with its opening line, “this is a tale of murder”. It captures the audience with its prose and structure, from the perspective of our protagonist Elliot Chase. The perspective offered by the narrator is never quite accurate, with subtle jabs and hints that the story he may not be what it seems. - Zoe (QBD)
