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....

评分##It's not bad, but not as good as people make it out to be.
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##起先听了一个小时有声书都准备放弃了,还好听从建议改为阅读。后半部分几乎一口气读完。是不是我读的悬疑太少了,这么容易代入。一直在期待反转然而还是震惊了。
评分##BOTM拿到的先发版,一个周末就读完了。psychological thriller读得不多,这本给我了一种第一次读and then there were none的感觉。有些地方还是会很强烈的感受到是作者写的第一本小说,但是整体真的是很赞
评分##Alcestis这个古希腊悲剧的设定棒呆,揭露了关于Alicia的部分真相,又完全掩盖住了Theo这个部分。看书的前半部分感觉自己都要变成Alicia了,总觉得哪里不对,可是说又说不出来……到最后几章揭露真相的时候只有Bone-chilling能形容我的感受。看完以后就只想说:卧槽,我就说感觉前面哪里有问题嘛,原来是这样!!!!
评分##Compelling? Yes. Convincing? Not so much.
评分##2019年goodreads犯罪悬疑类小说第一名,好像还是作者的处女作。故事吗,悬疑类我看的不多,我觉得还行,最后掀锅盖。 故事主要靠第一人称心理活动推进,辅之女主的日记,大量的对话,所以语言比较简单,适合英语学习。 有一些简单的心理学单词和概念,勉强可以算知识点。
评分##Brilliant!巧妙地利用了章节间的衔接和切换,混淆了不同故事线之间的时间线,成功保持悬疑和神秘到最后。看到后面大呼“中计啦”的就是我。被糊弄了呢,却又很开心,哈哈哈哈,怕就怕糊弄不到读者的悬疑作品。用有句港剧常用台词总结就是——神又系你,鬼又系你!“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive,and will come forth later,in uglier ways.”所以情绪一定要得到有效的发泄,屈埋屈埋就会屈出病来。喜欢小说里用的Alcestis这个冷门的希腊神话,不过抛开小说单从神话本身来说,我跟作者理解得有点不一样,我理解Alcestis的沉默偏向于哀莫大于心死,而不是murderous rage。 @2020-01-31 22:15:28 @2021-12-22 11:06:45
