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....
##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##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##三天就断断续续读完了,上一本如此疯狂啃书的是丹布朗的《天使与魔鬼》。开头和结尾太精彩了,中间部分在费解和厌恶男主行为中略显呱噪的坚持着,最后结局让一切释然。非常完美的推理情节设计,读完觉得很爽。
评分##是那种一开始读就停不下来的故事。期待电影。
评分##别上当,根本不是perfect thriller 最近炒的很热。得闲看完,完全没有反转和惊悚的感觉…心理描写太冗余拖沓了,以至于过程中猜测了一百种结局,总有一个碰对的
评分##就这?相爱就要为对方去死吗?扮得一手好圣母
评分##三天就断断续续读完了,上一本如此疯狂啃书的是丹布朗的《天使与魔鬼》。开头和结尾太精彩了,中间部分在费解和厌恶男主行为中略显呱噪的坚持着,最后结局让一切释然。非常完美的推理情节设计,读完觉得很爽。
评分##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
