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. A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy."Īlex Michaelides's 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.Īlicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. "An unforgettable-and Hollywood-bound-new thriller. **THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** I recommend it to lovers of Gillian Flynn, Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen, and JP Delaney. I thought it was a very clever story line, which seemed well-thought out and researched in regards to all the psychiatric details. It was highly suspenseful with two unreliable narrators. This book kept me on edge until the very last page. Then you have her enthusiastic psychotherapist, Theo Faber, whose motivations and mental stability you start to question mid-way through the novel. Instead she is put into a psych ward because of her unusual behavior. That is exactly what Alicia Berenson does she does not defend herself, offer any explanation, nor give any testimony at her trial. Imagine being accused of murder, but remaining completely silent.
