具体描述
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....

##Love that doesn't include honesty doesn't deserve to be called love...
评分##It's not bad, but not as good as people make it out to be.
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##就这？相爱就要为对方去死吗？扮得一手好圣母
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
评分##前面慢慢听了很多天觉得很拖沓，但后面还是很精彩的！不像一般的thriller那么吓人，听了作者访谈他觉得更是suspense，也受到希区柯克的影响。
评分##Love that doesn't include honesty doesn't deserve to be called love...
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##Compelling? Yes. Convincing? Not so much.
