Thank you, Celadon Books, for the gifted copy of The Fury by Alex Michaelides {partner}
Genre: Mystery
Format: 📖
Pub Date: 1.16.2024
Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆.5
The thriller/mystery genre is my favorite, so it takes a lot to get me excited and surprise me. The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides is one of those books I still talk about (even though I read it four years ago) because it truly surprised me. I can’t say I had that same shock in The Fury, but it was pretty dang close to it.
I LOVE a good unreliable narrator, and Elliot Chase provided just that throughout this book. I know some people won’t love the “storytelling” vibe that he offered (and his constant interruptions), but it did make for an entertaining read. Was he telling the truth, or was it a flair for the dramatics? I flew through reading The Fury and was so grateful to have read it with two friends because I immediately needed to discuss that ending!
It’s one of the reasons that I think The Fury will make for a perfect book club discussion. I saw the ending in one way: my friends picked up on something I had missed, and those compounded things made me bump this one up from a 4 to a 4.5 star. I can’t wait for more people to read The Fury so we can discuss!
😵💫 Complex characters
📖 Slow burn
🗣️ Unreliable narrator
📚 Book connections
👌🏼 Short chapters
☕️ Perfect for a book club
I recommend reading The Fury if you’re looking for the perfect mystery to get lost in on the weekend - I say weekend because once you start, you’re going to want to keep reading until the very end.
