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....
近几年看过叙述最棒的故事之一 读完很想找人讲话 又感觉像题目里的女主角一样哑口无言 跟“gone girl”大卖之后成堆出现的俗套“心理悬疑/人格分裂”类妖艳贱货很不一样 this debut novel is fresh, bone-chilling, meticulous, and disturbingly good. 每一章都很短 你会一直跟自己说just one more chapter然后完全放不下来 到后半部分你觉得在震惊里经历了“ah ha”moment之后 结尾还有更强大的反转等着你 整个叙事和句式风格明明都很easy 但读完让你感觉deeply uneasy 推荐给想读个好故事、但不介意情感上有几天包袱的人
评分##Compelling? Yes. Convincing? Not so much.
评分##别上当,根本不是perfect thriller 最近炒的很热。得闲看完,完全没有反转和惊悚的感觉…心理描写太冗余拖沓了,以至于过程中猜测了一百种结局,总有一个碰对的
评分##page turner.. but does NOT make sense - Theo knew fully well why she didn't talk from the beginning, 之后的上下求索是闲的?以及结局,完全不make sense. 无缘无故地去杀人,再一次,闲的?铺垫4/5本书还以为是什么了不起的惊天秘密
评分##3星半吧。故事还可以,有psychological thriller共通的优势(情节抓人,读起来放不下)和缺点(后劲小/值得回味的地方少,甚至越回味越不对劲),人物就差一些。如果读一本书只是为了那一个twist,无论读的时候猜不猜得到,我好像都不太喜欢。
评分##是那种一开始读就停不下来的故事。期待电影。
评分##悬念设置得很好,反转还是玩不过 Gillian Flynn 写的那几本,黑暗也不如Gilli大约听到一半我已经猜出大致方向了,最后大实锤落下的时候,可能是看了太多评论 hyped up 倒觉得没有这么震撼。
评分##别上当,根本不是perfect thriller 最近炒的很热。得闲看完,完全没有反转和惊悚的感觉…心理描写太冗余拖沓了,以至于过程中猜测了一百种结局,总有一个碰对的
评分##It's not bad, but not as good as people make it out to be.
