Unpopular opinion here but I didn’t understand the hype surrounding the Silent Patient at all. I thought it was a solid thriller but I wasn’t wowed and didn’t think it was the greatest thriller of all time. With that being said, I put off reading this one for awhile because I wasn’t sure if it would be a let down or not
.
Thankfully, I really enjoyed this one, probably more than the Silent Patient!
What worked:
• Edward Fosca as a character
• The Cambridge setting
• Elements of Greek tragedy
What didn’t work:
• Fred - just why????
• The ending
Edward Fosca as a character and the creepy theme of Greek tragedy throughout made for a page turner. My only problem was the ending, it felt random and parts of it were unexplained, leaving some major plot holes. It was mostly unbelievable and I didn't see the evidence of the supposed twist coming. Also, I hated Fred and his whole storyline 🤦🏼♀️
