The Fury by Alex Michaelides
Rating: ★★★☆☆
I recently finished *The Fury* by Alex Michaelides, and I’d say it’s a solid 3-star read. If you enjoyed his previous works, you might find this one intriguing, but it doesn’t quite hit the same high notes.
The story revolves around a gripping psychological mystery, characteristic of Michaelides’ style, with twists that keep you guessing. However, some of the plot twists felt a bit predictable, and the pacing was uneven at times. There were moments when I was completely engrossed, only to hit a slow patch that took me out of the narrative.
The characters are well-developed, with the protagonist’s journey being particularly compelling. Yet, some side characters felt underutilised, leaving me wanting more depth and background.
Michaelides’ writing is as engaging as ever, making it an easy read. While *The Fury* may not be a literary masterpiece, it’s an entertaining book worth picking up if you’re a fan of the genre. It’s perfect for a weekend read or a lazy afternoon.
In summary, *The Fury* delivers suspense and intrigue but doesn’t quite reach the heights of Michaelides’ previous novels. It’s a good read, just not a great one.
