Wow! What an excellent debut novel by Alex Michaelides. This book was my favorite thriller of 2019 and I'm anxiously awaiting his next release!
Alicia is a famous painter married to a famous photographer, Gabriel, and they seem to have it all. One night changes everything and Alicia shoots her husband in the head. Police arrive and Alicia refuses to speak another word, little did they know she would continue her silence throughout her trial and treatment. Theo Faber, a determined psychotherapist, thinks that he has what it takes to get Alicia talking and uncover the mystery behind her actions.
The book jumps back and forth from Theo's perspective and Alicia's journals from her past. I could not put it down, the psychological thriller was creepy and suspenseful in just the right away
