Elliott Chase had a rotten childhood, bullied by his peers and neglected by his parents; he escaped by falling in love with film star Lana Farrar. Years later, he met Lana at a party, and their friendship was cemented. When Lana invited Elliott and her best friend Kate to spend the Easter holiday with her, her husband, and her son on her private Greek island, he jumped at the chance. Unfortunately, a windstorm, known as the Fury, isolates them on the island, and when one of the group gets murdered, all are suspects. Will the killer strike again?
This was a fast read that was engrossing and kept me guessing. Most of the story is a first-person narration by Elliott that sometimes diverges from the storyline with asides and speculations that I felt didn't move the story along. This was a minor annoyance, but overall, this was a satisfying read. I think fans of his previous books will find this an excellent addition to Michaelides's works.
3.5/5 stars.
