Yes
Coming from the author of The Silent Patient, The Fury was not at all what I expected! It's a thriller set on an island with 6 people (one of my favorite tropes), but it is not at all like those tropes. It is so over the top and melodramatic that it feels satirical and even the other characters didn't seem to want to be around the unlikable narrator. It was still fun in a lot of ways and a quick read. Overall, I have very mixed feelings.
