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....
##彆上當,根本不是perfect thriller 最近炒的很熱。得閑看完,完全沒有反轉和驚悚的感覺…心理描寫太冗餘拖遝瞭,以至於過程中猜測瞭一百種結局,總有一個碰對的
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##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##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##BOTM拿到的先發版,一個周末就讀完瞭。psychological thriller讀得不多,這本給我瞭一種第一次讀and then there were none的感覺。有些地方還是會很強烈的感受到是作者寫的第一本小說,但是整體真的是很贊
評分##是那種一開始讀就停不下來的故事。期待電影。
評分##Abs the best psychological thriller I’ve read dis yr. 主角Theo的心理描寫太棒瞭. 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.
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##Alcestis這個古希臘悲劇的設定棒呆,揭露瞭關於Alicia的部分真相,又完全掩蓋住瞭Theo這個部分。看書的前半部分感覺自己都要變成Alicia瞭,總覺得哪裏不對,可是說又說不齣來……到最後幾章揭露真相的時候隻有Bone-chilling能形容我的感受。看完以後就隻想說:臥槽,我就說感覺前麵哪裏有問題嘛,原來是這樣!!!!
