When a famous painter shoots her husband, the world is curious to find out the reason why. None more so than Theo, a famous psychologist who is fascinated by Alicia's rigid silence. As he attempts to connect with her and find out why she did it, he becomes deeply intertwined with the mysterious painter.

The Silent Patient took me by surprise! I convinced myself I’d be able to stop after just a few pages, since I started it late at night. A couple hours later, this book was complete. Oops… I really enjoyed it, especially that twist! Wow. The writing was very vivid to me, at times it felt like I was watching the scene play out in my head, which is not always how I feel when reading. I definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a mysterious, tightly-paced, and creepy read. You’ll definitely be pondering it long after the final page!
