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##It's not bad, but not as good as people make it out to be.
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。
評分近幾年看過敘述最棒的故事之一 讀完很想找人講話 又感覺像題目裏的女主角一樣啞口無言 跟“gone girl”大賣之後成堆齣現的俗套“心理懸疑/人格分裂”類妖艷賤貨很不一樣 this debut novel is fresh, bone-chilling, meticulous, and disturbingly good. 每一章都很短 你會一直跟自己說just one more chapter然後完全放不下來 到後半部分你覺得在震驚裏經曆瞭“ah ha”moment之後 結尾還有更強大的反轉等著你 整個敘事和句式風格明明都很easy 但讀完讓你感覺deeply uneasy 推薦給想讀個好故事、但不介意情感上有幾天包袱的人
評分##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##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##It's not bad, but not as good as people make it out to be.
評分##Compelling? Yes. Convincing? Not so much.
評分##起先聽瞭一個小時有聲書都準備放棄瞭,還好聽從建議改為閱讀。後半部分幾乎一口氣讀完。是不是我讀的懸疑太少瞭,這麼容易代入。一直在期待反轉然而還是震驚瞭。
