The Fury
by Alex Michaelides

You don't know what to think in this murder mystery!

The narrator is Eliot Chase and he takes us with him on an island with his friends. From the outset he lets us know that one of them is a murderer. 

It's full of atmosphere, claustrophobia, tension - and you really don't know who or what to believe.

The former movie star Lana Farrar has invited a group of friends to stay with her on a small Greek island.

It'll be hot and sunny and they'll all be able to relax and reconnect. But of course they all go way back, so there are secrets to uncover. And Eliot is our guide.

So who can we trust? And what is actually going on in this private island? Nothing is as it seems, at all.

This is a fabulous mystery, cleverly written. You may think you've guessed what's going on, but you probably haven't...!
