The story centers on a murder among a group of friends on a Greek island. We quickly are told that rather than a "whodunit", this is a tale of "whydunit." Michaelides does well crafting a nice twist on the locked room sort of tale, but this falls a bit short when it comes to seeing how each character's personality dooms them. Though not as dynamic as The Silent Patient, The Fury is a fast-paced and enjoyable read, earning 3.5/5 stars from me. Thanks to NetGalley and Celadon for an ARC.
