The Fury by Alex Michaelides
2.0
Thanks to NetGalley and Celadon Books for letting me read an ARC.
The Fury isn’t my least favorite Michaelides but I should definitely stop trying to chase the high that The Silent Patient brought. This story was pretty straight forward for one trying to pass itself off as twisty and unpredictable. It was hard to care about or invest in any of these characters, as they all rang pretty flat. By the last few chapters it felt like Michaelides was pulling any and everything out of his bag of tricks to shock us but it came across as rushed and lazy.
