Do no miss it * Daily Mail *Gloriously atmospheric and utterly riveting, this is my favourite Alex Michaelides yet. Readers you are in for a treat! But then what else would you expect from the undisputed master of the twist? -- Lucy FoleyDeliciously twisty and fiendishly clever. A highly enjoyable tale of subterfuge, secrets and murder * Observer *Alex Michaelides hits the trifecta with his third novel, The Fury. The highly original story structure presents the reader with the king of all unreliable narrators, enough twists and turns to power two novels, and a host of characters that bleed right on the page. For fans of erudite, locked room mysteries told with style and theatrical panache, The Fury will deliver, on all counts -- David BaldacciYoull think you know where its going and you couldnt be more wrong -- Linwood BarclayThe Fury by Alex Michaelides is a proper, grown-up thriller that exudes class from every page. So much more than a murder mystery, every twist and turn is simultaneously a total surprise and completely inevitable. The writing is perfectly sparse, yet cloaks a narrative of rare complexity. So many contradictions, yet all unite in a devastating whole. The Fury is a very special book and highly recommended -- Janice HallettAnother breathtakingly twisty thriller. Takes the classic murder mystery and twists it into something devious and enthralling and consistently surprising * i *This is a masterclass in suspense. A unique and captivating narrator takes you on a journey filled with twists and finely drawn characters you will treasure. This is probably his best book. Not to be missed -- Steve CavanaghA glorious triumph - just brilliant -- Stephen FryAudacious, twisty, compelling, and full of the joyous verve that one only finds in the very best storytelling, this is the best novel yet from Alex Michaelides -- Sophie HannahMichaelides takes the formula and has fun turning it inside out. Think Patricia HIghsmith meets Noel Coward * Mail on Sunday *Mesmerising - a beguiling labyrinth of twists and surprises, even better than The Silent Patient. The Fury is The Magus meets The Secret History on a Greek island paradise where nothing is as it seems, and Alex Michaelides is a master magician, skilfully misdirecting the reader at every turn -- JP DelaneyThe Fury is a masterfully woven story of Shakespearean twists and Machiavellian turns. A Greek Tragedy in the guise of a postmodern thriller. Do not miss this one. -- Holly JacksonA classic, twisting, brilliant murder mystery. A wonderfully drawn cast of characters with a motive to kill for, in a location to die for, keep you guessing until the shocking finale. Clever, and fiendishly fun -- Chris WhitakerA very sophisticated book which takes the format of a classic murder mystery and elevates it to something very devious and clever indeed. The narrator is fabulous - I was throughly gripped by his voice and it seems to have been written with great glee. Theres such a tremendous complicity to it even though the reader has no idea how much of what hes telling is true, even down to the final pages. The way it reveals itself through the layers of the narrative is very well done indeed. -- Harriet TyceThe Fury, like its beguiling narrator, is endlessly evolving, wildly entertaining, and like the very best fiction, impossible to pin down. Just when you think you have it cornered, it moves, impossibly and with stunning flourish, toward a devastating finale. The Talented Mr. Ripley for our time -- Blake CrouchAlex Michaelides is the grand master of the modern mystery. The Fury reads like Hitchcock with a heart, or Agatha Christie running amok on a wind-whipped Greek island. A tale of old friends and buried emotions ready to explode, all set on in an idyllic island rendered so perfectly you can smell the jasmine, the ouzo and the Aegean Sea. The Fury will, quite literally, blow you away. Totally brilliant. -- Tony ParsonsA master storyteller that never fails to deliver * Daily Mail *Glamorous, sinister, and endlessly surprising, The Fury reads like Agatha Christie and Patricia Highsmith took a Greek vacation together and decided to write a book while there. Its twisty, twisted entertainment -- Riley SagerLeaves you wondering whether you have empathy or total disgust for the individuals involved * Sheerluxe.com *As a whodunnit, The Fury thrives on misdirection and suspicion [. . .] Michaelides masterfully plants snippets of information that shift our suspicions [. . .] The character dynamics are intense and compelling. * Sunday Mail *One of those rare books where really nothing is as it seems. As usual, Alex Michaelides does not disappoint -- Ragnar JonassonA gripping murder mystery * Daily Record *Praise for Alex Michaelides -- :A deliciously dark, elegant, utterly compulsive read - with a twist that blew my mind -- Lucy FoleyI read it in two nights and savoured every luscious word, every grim encounter, every startling twist -- David BaldacciThe perfect thriller. I quite literally couldnt put it down -- A. J. FinnOne of the best psychological thrillers I have ever read... one of the most shocking, mind-blowing twists in recent memory -- Blake CrouchAbsolutely brilliant . . .
