Maddie Recommends... The Silent Patient By Alex Michaelides
The Silent Patient By Alex Michaelides
This book is a time-stopper. I could not put it down. I picked it up at about 4pm on Sunday afternoon feeling a little bored. Before I knew it, it was 10pm... I don't usually read thrillers (I scare easily) but this psychological thriller was different. I was never scared, I was just so engrossed I needed to know what happened in the end.
I'm giving this book a 4.2 out of 5 mostly because I'm a bit worried about my first book recommendation being a 5 out of 5. Ha! Also goes to show you should try read outside of your normal genre every now and then.
Ps. Sorry if I'm late to the party on this one, like I said I would never usually read thrillers. A friend of mine insisted I MUST read it and gave me a copy, so I really had no choice
To learn more about this book, this is what the website 'Good Reads' has to say about it:
"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...."
