The Silent Patient

**THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**

"An unforgettable—and Hollywood-bound—new thriller... A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy."
—Entertainment Weekly

The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.

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....

Shocking twist!What a twist towards the end that I didn’t see coming at all. Not much to complain about with this book. It was a fast, easy read with a compelling storyline. I was a bit confused on the formatting, specifically why there needed to be parts, but I didn’t mind too much. Read this you won’t be disappointed!.AjjaffariScore: 5/5

Good book!Interesting writing! It made me stop and think more than a few times. The only time I set it down was to think about the ending..JmurraemooreScore: 5/5

Absolutely amazing thriller!I can’t believe some of the lower rating people gave this book. It could be considered slow in the beginning but that’s the point. It’s a test of your patience to build up that shock factor in the end. I became engulfed in the story from the moment I started reading. An absolute page turner and I’m even on the brink of reading it twice. Bc I’m sure no matter how studious I thought I was the first read through I’m sure I could start aligning things better going through a second time. 5 stars and 6 stars if that was an option!.Kris100012Score: 5/5

Perfectly balanced and poeticThis book switches between past, present, fake, and real so seamlessly you get trapped in the web just like the main characters do. I was on my toes until the very end, and was completely unsuspecting of the twist, but as soon as it was revealed it all made sense. The constant weaving of fiction-based metaphors and psychological comparison is both beautiful and devastatingly real. If you’re looking for a psychological thriller, this is the perfect book..LsdsfffScore: 5/5

Wasn’t really a fanI don’t know…the narrative style felt almost juvenile and the payoff just didn’t hit for me..11zoeykScore: 1/5

Good read but not as shocking as I expectedPerhaps I only saw it coming because I’d read similar books already such as “The Wife Between Us” but unfortunately I saw the very hyped up plot twist coming. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t say it “ruined” the story for me. I quite enjoyed getting into the minds of Alicia and Theo. I find Theo a particularly interesting character. And it was very enjoyable reading a story where almost all of the dialogue was completely one-sided. The fact that Alicia doesn’t talk and yet we can still get to know so much about her firsthand through her nonverbal language and Theo’s psychoanalysis of her is proof of the author’s talent and makes for a fascinating story. I also really loved how the author took inspiration from Greek mythology and incorporated it perfectly into the plot in a way that felt so natural. A good read that kept me moving through the story and didn’t at all feel like a waste of time even though I knew what was coming..Tay K WayScore: 4/5
