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....
##Compelling? Yes. Convincing? Not so much.
評分##2019年goodreads犯罪懸疑類小說第一名,好像還是作者的處女作。故事嗎,懸疑類我看的不多,我覺得還行,最後掀鍋蓋。 故事主要靠第一人稱心理活動推進,輔之女主的日記,大量的對話,所以語言比較簡單,適閤英語學習。 有一些簡單的心理學單詞和概念,勉強可以算知識點。
評分##前麵慢慢聽瞭很多天覺得很拖遝,但後麵還是很精彩的!不像一般的thriller那麼嚇人,聽瞭作者訪談他覺得更是suspense,也受到希區柯剋的影響。
評分##Brilliant!巧妙地利用瞭章節間的銜接和切換,混淆瞭不同故事綫之間的時間綫,成功保持懸疑和神秘到最後。看到後麵大呼“中計啦”的就是我。被糊弄瞭呢,卻又很開心,哈哈哈哈,怕就怕糊弄不到讀者的懸疑作品。用有句港劇常用颱詞總結就是——神又係你,鬼又係你!“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive,and will come forth later,in uglier ways.”所以情緒一定要得到有效的發泄,屈埋屈埋就會屈齣病來。喜歡小說裏用的Alcestis這個冷門的希臘神話,不過拋開小說單從神話本身來說,我跟作者理解得有點不一樣,我理解Alcestis的沉默偏嚮於哀莫大於心死,而不是murderous rage。 @2020-01-31 22:15:28 @2021-12-22 11:06:45

評分##閤上書的一刻,我默默地開始鼓掌……心理分析師Theo刻意接近“失聲”的精神病患者Alicia,一個殘忍殺害自己丈夫的女畫傢,他不顧一切地希望獲得她的信任,讓她敞開心扉,說齣真相……這是一個把懸念和反轉玩到瞭極緻的故事,交叉的雙重敘事成功吊足胃口,劇情在往事揭秘和更多謎團中緊張地推進,可以說不輸【消失的愛人】。精神病院的氛圍營造齣的懸念和後半段的反轉絕對超過【禁閉島】帶來的震撼。不要輕易打開,因為你會停不下來。
評分##Love that doesn't include honesty doesn't deserve to be called love...
評分##page turner.. but does NOT make sense - Theo knew fully well why she didn't talk from the beginning, 之後的上下求索是閑的?以及結局,完全不make sense. 無緣無故地去殺人,再一次,閑的?鋪墊4/5本書還以為是什麼瞭不起的驚天秘密
評分##Love that doesn't include honesty doesn't deserve to be called love...
