What happens when the famous kill? A world famous artist shoots her husband 5 times!! Fear of an intruder or intentional murder? Anytime a death involves a famous person is involved in a killing the world is waiting for every little item of information about the event, for example the o.j. Simpson case. In the Silent Patient the author makes use of that curiosity to keep the reader in suspense for the entire book. Alex Michaledis may not be a household name but will be if books like this keep coming out!!! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in gripping suspense or crimes by famous people and how intense scrutiny can effect a criminal investigation. Five stars all the way!!!
