THE FURY

Olivier Award-winning actor Alex Jennings performs this story of murder on a remote Greek island. Famed actress Lana Farrar invites her family and close friend to her private island for Easter break. But what starts out as an idyllic vacation ends in murder. The novel is told from the perspective of Elliot Chase, a playwright who is Lana's closest friend. With his ear for dialogue, Jennings captures the expressions of the characters. But while he knows his way around a wide range of accents, Jennings's stiff performance of exposition and descriptions detracts overall. The plot twists and backtracks, often predictably, dampening the suspense. K.D.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2024]
