具体描述
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....

##It's not bad, but not as good as people make it out to be.
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##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##Brilliant！巧妙地利用了章节间的衔接和切换，混淆了不同故事线之间的时间线，成功保持悬疑和神秘到最后。看到后面大呼“中计啦”的就是我。被糊弄了呢，却又很开心，哈哈哈哈，怕就怕糊弄不到读者的悬疑作品。用有句港剧常用台词总结就是——神又系你，鬼又系你！“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive，and will come forth later，in uglier ways.”所以情绪一定要得到有效的发泄，屈埋屈埋就会屈出病来。喜欢小说里用的Alcestis这个冷门的希腊神话，不过抛开小说单从神话本身来说，我跟作者理解得有点不一样，我理解Alcestis的沉默偏向于哀莫大于心死，而不是murderous rage。 @2020-01-31 22:15:28 @2021-12-22 11:06:45

评分##BOTM拿到的先发版，一个周末就读完了。psychological thriller读得不多，这本给我了一种第一次读and then there were none的感觉。有些地方还是会很强烈的感受到是作者写的第一本小说，但是整体真的是很赞
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
