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....
##3星半吧。故事還可以,有psychological thriller共通的優勢(情節抓人,讀起來放不下)和缺點(後勁小/值得迴味的地方少,甚至越迴味越不對勁),人物就差一些。如果讀一本書隻是為瞭那一個twist,無論讀的時候猜不猜得到,我好像都不太喜歡。
評分##a story about double infidelity; 精神治療師與患者,童年創傷與成年行為,凶手與被害人,背叛者與被背叛者,日記視角與第一人稱非正常時間綫敘述
評分##就這?相愛就要為對方去死嗎?扮得一手好聖母

評分##懸念設置得很好,反轉還是玩不過 Gillian Flynn 寫的那幾本,黑暗也不如Gilli大約聽到一半我已經猜齣大緻方嚮瞭,最後大實錘落下的時候,可能是看瞭太多評論 hyped up 倒覺得沒有這麼震撼。
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##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。
