Sinossi
Alicia Berenson sembra avere una vita perfetta: è un'artista di successo, ha sposato un noto fotografo di moda e abita in uno dei quartieri più esclusivi di Londra. Poi, una sera, quando suo marito Gabriel torna a casa dal lavoro, Alicia gli spara cinque volte in faccia freddandolo. Da quel momento, detenuta in un ospedale psichiatrico, Alicia si chiude in un mutismo impenetrabile, rifiutandosi di fornire qualsiasi spiegazione. Oltre ai tabloid e ai telegiornali, a interessarsi alla «paziente silenziosa» è anche Theo Faber, psicologo criminale sicuro di poterla aiutare a svelare il mistero di quella notte. E mentre a poco a poco la donna ricomincia a parlare, il disegno che affiora trascina il medico in un gioco subdolo e manipolatorio.

CONGRATULATIONS-Goodreads Choice Awards Mystery & Thriller Winner! I feel like I should preface my review by stating that I have read A LOT of psychological thrillers, and coupling that with the fact that this was my most anticipated read of 2019 gave The Silent Patient a great deal of pressure.

As you will see, it’s an incredible story—of that there is no doubt. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Ohhhh, I see why this book is getting so much buzz: it is virtually unputdownable . I didn't actually have any plans to read The Silent Patient . I just happened to see it hanging around Leggi tutto
Wow, I'm still reeling from that ending! A mindblowing, to-die for twist! A fast read that kept me intrigued from beginning to end, although the shocker came at the end. Wait......wait......what just happened? This was how I felt as a read the last few chapters! Alicia Berenson is such a mysteriou
(2.5) This was a solid.... meh for me. I was excited to pick up this psychological thriller because it has been getting some hype but it was a disappointment. Didn't care much for the characters, the twist was so obvious, the writing just okay. The only redeeming quality was the audiobook which made Leggi tutto
I'm annoyed.
I gotta stop rating books immediately after I read them and then lower the rating after I process them in detail in my mind and find tons of plot holes
She tied her husband to a chair and shot him multiple times.She then slit her own wrists and waited for the police to arrive. At least, that's what THEY say she did. Alicia Berenson isn't SAYING anything. When Theo Faber, Criminal Psychotherapist, takes a new job at The Grove , he is well aware of
The beginning hooked me in because I was intrigued to learn more about Alicia's story, how her husband was murdered, and why she chose to remain silent. However, the book ended up bordering as a cheesy murder mystery, with the main character acting like a white-knight detective who would question a
5 shining stars! We finally have a winner. It’s really page-turner, meticulously developed, smartly written book. I liked the final twist and ending of the book. Did my spider sense catch it? In the middle I was suspicious something was wrong but it well played and fooled me once! Shame on me! This i Leggi tutto
