Alicia Berenson is a famous painter married to a famous fashion photographer, Gabriel Berenson. Her husband returns home one evening, and Alicia shoots him five times and never speaks another word after that.
Theo Faber is a psychotherapist who has wanted to work with Alicia to try to understand what happened to her and why she refuses to speak. He wants to get her to talk and try to understand why she shot her husband. As Theo starts to work with Alicia all kinds of secrets are revealed.
This novel has many twists and turns which I never saw coming. The book is so suspenseful, and the setting is so perfectly creepy. There is a lot of psychopathology in this novel. Sometimes you really don't like the characters, but you just find yourself reading to the end to find out why, and what happened and then BAM! the big twist/reveal.
