Artist Alice Berenson and her photographer-husband, Gabriel, would seem to have a perfect life. But, beneath the trappings of success lies something dangerous. One evening, when Gabriel returns from work, Alicia shoots him five times . . . and then stops talking.
Alice’s silence propels the story into the public imagination; her work skyrockets in value, but the silent artist, locked away in a psychiatric hospital, maintains her eerie silence. Criminal psychotherapist Theo Faber, newly employed at the Grove, looks forward to working with Alice. In fact, he seems rather obsessed about it.
But no one could ever have predicted what lay behind that wall of silence.
Weaving well-drawn, complex characters into an intriguing mystery, the dark narrative spins out a tale where nothing is as it seems and the tension is heightened by the sinister undertone of the plot. Short chapters keep the suspense building while unexpected reveals and plot twists move the story in unpredictable directions. Although astute readers may identify the final twist before its stunning revelation, this spellbinding, multi-layered tale of murder, infidelity, and revenge will keep them enthralled until they’ve turned the final page in this completely unputdownable book.
Highly recommended.
