The Silent Patient by @alex.michaelides (#40 in 2019)

Theo Faber is a psychotherapist who gets a new job at the hospital at which Alicia Berenson, a renowned artist, is a patient. Alicia was accused of killing her husband, and she has since refused to speak to anyone. Alicia's silence is interpreted differently by the media, doctors, and family members. Some feel that it's a demonstration of guilt while others feel that it's a sign of her innocence. Theo feels that he has the ability to get her to speak and, more importantly, that he can solve the mystery of what happened that fateful night. .
Holy twists and turns! I heard all the hype about this book, but that always makes me skeptical. I must say, however, that this book deserves ALL the hype it's been getting. I don't even know how to I cannot believe that this is Alex Michaelides' debut novel as this reminds me more of what a seasoned writer would be publishing. Kudos to Michaelides for writing a fantastic thriller with the suspense that I've been hoping for. An easy 5 stars from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
