The instant #1 New York Times bestseller "An unforgettable--and Hollywood-bound--new thriller... A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy." -- Entertainment Weekly 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....

THE SILENT PATIENT is a deep, dark tale of murder, love and revenge. This is a contemporary story steeped in a deliciously gothic tone. At the beginning of the book, we have a vicious murder, a frightening asylum setting for the criminally insane, and a suspect who refuses to speak. .... i don't want to share more, just buy!

A joy to read
When Alicia's husband is found tied up next to her shot 5 times at point blank she is sentenced for his murder. But she hasn't spoken a word since that day, not even in her defence - so what really happened?
The Silent Patient was one of those stories that was just a joy to read. I put down my notes page and found myself completely hooked on the story - finishing it in almost one session! It's well crafted, switching perspectives between psychologist Theo and snippets from Alicia's diary which drip feed you just enough information to keep you guessing throughout. The plot itself is well paced, it never felt like it was dragging or being drawn out. There were some very well-rounded characters in the book as well - most of them not particularly nice but this helped to leave you guessing what happened to Alicia right up until the final moments.
No spoilers of course but the ending is brilliant - very well thought out and surprised me completely which was lovely. I've read quite a lot of thrillers this year already so I was worried I was beginning to find them a little predictable but this one left me in shock!
This is a rather short review but that is because it was just a joy to read - go pick it up and see for yourself! Thank you to NetGalley & Orion Publishing Group for a chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
