The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a book where you want to continue reading and finish in one sitting. I remember thinking I figured out the plot twist and went I got to the end I realized how wrong I was. Michaelides masterfully misdirects the reader, leading them down a path of false assumptions before revealing the shocking truth. The only reason I did not give it a 5/5 is because I wish there were more plot twists throughout the entire book, I felt like I had to wait until the ending to get the big gasp.

The Silent Patient is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the mind of a woman who has not spoken a word in five years. Alicia Berenson, a renowned painter, is accused of murdering her husband and is sent to a secluded psychiatric facility. Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist, is determined to uncover the truth behind her silence and the tragic events that led to her crime.

Michaelides expertly weaves a complex narrative filled with suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists. The author's ability to create compelling characters and a chilling atmosphere makes it impossible to put the book down. Alicia Berenson's enigmatic silence and Theo Faber's relentless pursuit of answers kept me entertained.

Overall, The Silent Patient is a well-crafted psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end. With its compelling characters, suspenseful plot, and unexpected twists, it is a must-read.
