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....
##就这?相爱就要为对方去死吗?扮得一手好圣母
评分##合上书的一刻,我默默地开始鼓掌……心理分析师Theo刻意接近“失声”的精神病患者Alicia,一个残忍杀害自己丈夫的女画家,他不顾一切地希望获得她的信任,让她敞开心扉,说出真相……这是一个把悬念和反转玩到了极致的故事,交叉的双重叙事成功吊足胃口,剧情在往事揭秘和更多谜团中紧张地推进,可以说不输【消失的爱人】。精神病院的氛围营造出的悬念和后半段的反转绝对超过【禁闭岛】带来的震撼。不要轻易打开,因为你会停不下来。
评分##Abs the best psychological thriller I’ve read dis yr. 主角Theo的心理描写太棒了. Gripping+Bone Chilling最震撼我的地方一定是那句: This is the first time I came face to face with Alicia Berenson.
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##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##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
