Promising to be the debut novel of the season 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....
##前面慢慢听了很多天觉得很拖沓,但后面还是很精彩的!不像一般的thriller那么吓人,听了作者访谈他觉得更是suspense,也受到希区柯克的影响。
评分##a story about double infidelity; 精神治疗师与患者,童年创伤与成年行为,凶手与被害人,背叛者与被背叛者,日记视角与第一人称非正常时间线叙述
评分近几年看过叙述最棒的故事之一 读完很想找人讲话 又感觉像题目里的女主角一样哑口无言 跟“gone girl”大卖之后成堆出现的俗套“心理悬疑/人格分裂”类妖艳贱货很不一样 this debut novel is fresh, bone-chilling, meticulous, and disturbingly good. 每一章都很短 你会一直跟自己说just one more chapter然后完全放不下来 到后半部分你觉得在震惊里经历了“ah ha”moment之后 结尾还有更强大的反转等着你 整个叙事和句式风格明明都很easy 但读完让你感觉deeply uneasy 推荐给想读个好故事、但不介意情感上有几天包袱的人

评分##Abs the best psychological thriller I’ve read dis yr. 主角Theo的心理描写太棒了. Gripping+Bone Chilling最震撼我的地方一定是那句: This is the first time I came face to face with Alicia Berenson.

评分##3星半吧。故事还可以,有psychological thriller共通的优势(情节抓人,读起来放不下)和缺点(后劲小/值得回味的地方少,甚至越回味越不对劲),人物就差一些。如果读一本书只是为了那一个twist,无论读的时候猜不猜得到,我好像都不太喜欢。
评分##悬念设置得很好,反转还是玩不过 Gillian Flynn 写的那几本,黑暗也不如Gilli大约听到一半我已经猜出大致方向了,最后大实锤落下的时候,可能是看了太多评论 hyped up 倒觉得没有这么震撼。
评分##是那种一开始读就停不下来的故事。期待电影。
