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##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##合上书的一刻,我默默地开始鼓掌……心理分析师Theo刻意接近“失声”的精神病患者Alicia,一个残忍杀害自己丈夫的女画家,他不顾一切地希望获得她的信任,让她敞开心扉,说出真相……这是一个把悬念和反转玩到了极致的故事,交叉的双重叙事成功吊足胃口,剧情在往事揭秘和更多谜团中紧张地推进,可以说不输【消失的爱人】。精神病院的氛围营造出的悬念和后半段的反转绝对超过【禁闭岛】带来的震撼。不要轻易打开,因为你会停不下来。
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##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##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。
