Well, this one is certainly a ride!
I
love a good old thriller and couldn’t wait to read The Silent Patient.
It begins with Alicia Berenson, infamous for shooting her husband in the
head five times despite seemingly having the perfect marriage.
Since
then, Alicia has not spoken a single word. Theo Faber, a criminal
psychotherapist with a dark past of his own is intent on discovering the
truth no matter the cost, taking him on a dark twisted path...
I
loved the mystery element of the book, with various characters
introduced to reveal snippets of Alicia’s life in the lead-up to her
husband’s death, with of course some characters more trustworthy than
others. We discover Alicia’s life through excerpts from her diary,
revealing the relationship between her and various characters, as well
her mental state at the time.
I loved the fast pace and trying to
work with the various clues throughout the narrative. I would say this
is perfect if you fancy a light easy page turner which keeps you
guessing.
Overall I would give this: 3.5/5
