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....
##page turner.. but does NOT make sense - Theo knew fully well why she didn't talk from the beginning, 之后的上下求索是闲的?以及结局,完全不make sense. 无缘无故地去杀人,再一次,闲的?铺垫4/5本书还以为是什么了不起的惊天秘密
评分##It's not bad, but not as good as people make it out to be.
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##起先听了一个小时有声书都准备放弃了,还好听从建议改为阅读。后半部分几乎一口气读完。是不是我读的悬疑太少了,这么容易代入。一直在期待反转然而还是震惊了。
评分##是那种一开始读就停不下来的故事。期待电影。
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##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##Love that doesn't include honesty doesn't deserve to be called love...
