Product Information

His story begins with the beautiful Actress who owns the Island, Lana Farrar, a reclusive ex-movie star.

A masterfully paced thriller about a reclusive ex-movie star and her famous friends, whose spontaneous trip to a private Greek island is upended by a murder—from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient

The 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"

We all stood still for a second, silent. It was a horrifying moment, terrifying—like the climactic scene in a Greek tragedy. Winds which are referred to as “to menos” which translates to “the fury” in English-Winds that cut the Islands off from one another when they come out of nowhere, and begin to blow furiously.

I thought the author's first book, THE SILENT PATIENT, was brilliant, one of my favorite thrillers, so I was excited to dive into THE FURY. I enjoyed the writing style of this book. It had an old-school suspense novel vibe that drew me in. Overall, though, I'm left with mixed feelings. The tale he shares is actually more of a tragic love story, although someone is murdered-and Elliott will share the details of both… Lana was a Californian, born and bred. She lived there, worked there, made the majority of her movies there. However, once Otto died and she had retired, Lana decided to leave Los Angeles for a fresh start.
