I wasn't sure about this from the title: The Silent Patient. Especially as the opening pages, main character is writing a "journal". I thought perhaps this journal would be the "patient", and lead to the clues. But...

A husband is murdered. A wife accused. However, she is silent and says nothing. She doesn't deny or confess. She has suffered a trauma that keeps her from speaking, but why? Why did her husband die? Why won't she speak? She is an artist and she paints a self portrait of herself. This portrait seems to be a key, but we don't yet know. Enter a doctor who is fascinated by her story. Someone who can relate to her. But will he be able to help her and will he be able to solve what really happened that night?

I just finished this book and I was NOT disappointed. I updated my rating to 5 stars from 4.
