The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides



The Silent Patient by [Michaelides, Alex]

BLURB: Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.
Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....


REVIEW: The Silent Patient is a psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. This book captivated me from the first chapter until the last word. I have read it in less than 48 hours because i just couldn't put it down! It's one of those books that sticks with you and leaves you with questions even when it is done. The author gives a very vivid picture to what is going on throughout the book and leaves you with a shocking twist at the end.I feel like I am still in a state of shock.  I won't say anymore about the story as I'm afraid to give away the ending but I 100% recommend you pick up this book and give it a try. Trust me YOU WILL THANK ME LATER.
