The Fury by Alex Michaelides is a well-written tell all of a murder.
Elliot recounts the events leading up to his dear friend and former movie star Lana’s murder. He introduces each person present the night of her murder which takes place on her private Greek island.
Spoilers ahead- Elliot’s background is revealed. He was unwanted and unloved by his parents, and bullied by his peers. He found comfort watching Lana’s movies. He was quite obsessed with her.
He somehow manages to get taken in by an older, alcoholic female author. This allows him to reinvent himself and eventually befriend Lana. He is in love with her but unable to be with her as she is married to Jason. Eventually, Elliot discovers that her husband is cheating with their friend Kate.
Elliot devises a scheme to get Jason out of the picture. However, things go quite differently than planned. The narration kept me intrigued throughout the story.
