The Silent Patient - Wow! Grabs you from the first pages
(*Based only on the first 20 pages of the book*)
I am not surprised this book has had so much clamor. From the very first pages, the author is able to intrigue you and give you a clear but subtle picture of what is happening.
The story is about a painter, Alicia, who is accused to have murdered her husband, Gabriel. From the moment of Gabriel's death, Alicia cannot - or would not - speak. Thus the "silent patient." In the meantime, however, she paints, and she paints a lot. Maybe one of these paintings has the secret of Gabriel's murder? Is it her? Or maybe not?
Only reading the first 20 pages, you are already taken from this book. You want to know: what happened? who is the murderer? Only who reads it will know!
