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, 之後的上下求索是閑的?以及結局,完全不make sense. 無緣無故地去殺人,再一次,閑的?鋪墊4/5本書還以為是什麼瞭不起的驚天秘密
評分##就這?相愛就要為對方去死嗎?扮得一手好聖母
評分##Love that doesn't include honesty doesn't deserve to be called love...
評分##BOTM拿到的先發版,一個周末就讀完瞭。psychological thriller讀得不多,這本給我瞭一種第一次讀and then there were none的感覺。有些地方還是會很強烈的感受到是作者寫的第一本小說,但是整體真的是很贊

評分##閤上書的一刻,我默默地開始鼓掌……心理分析師Theo刻意接近“失聲”的精神病患者Alicia,一個殘忍殺害自己丈夫的女畫傢,他不顧一切地希望獲得她的信任,讓她敞開心扉,說齣真相……這是一個把懸念和反轉玩到瞭極緻的故事,交叉的雙重敘事成功吊足胃口,劇情在往事揭秘和更多謎團中緊張地推進,可以說不輸【消失的愛人】。精神病院的氛圍營造齣的懸念和後半段的反轉絕對超過【禁閉島】帶來的震撼。不要輕易打開,因為你會停不下來。
評分##Compelling? Yes. Convincing? Not so much.
評分##3星半吧。故事還可以,有psychological thriller共通的優勢(情節抓人,讀起來放不下)和缺點(後勁小/值得迴味的地方少,甚至越迴味越不對勁),人物就差一些。如果讀一本書隻是為瞭那一個twist,無論讀的時候猜不猜得到,我好像都不太喜歡。
評分##It's not bad, but not as good as people make it out to be.
