I’ve now read all 3 Michaelides books and I have throughly enjoyed them all. the Fury is probably bottom of my ranking of them but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a great story at all! I love a good plot twist and whilst this book keeps you on your toes throughout the plot twists weren’t quite as shocking as I would’ve liked. However, the story and plot and characters felt very real and engaging and I especially loved the narrator’s voice.

I was definitely engaged by the plot, and the development of characters was pretty interesting, if a bit contrived at points. The books strength is the thrilled aspect, but it is pretty cliched at points and not necessarily very well written, at least not to my taste.

Loved this so much more than The Silent Patient. Elliot pointed out his own unreliability at the very beginning so I thought the ending was going to be predictable, and I was right in a way, but the twists and turns to get there were so good. I had no idea when this was set while reading it but it felt so Christie-like that that’s era I was imagining.
