The Silent Patient - Book Review

The Silent PatientThe Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is, by far, the best mystery/thriller book I have ever read (so far that my sometimes-forgetful-38-year-old-brain can remember 😅 )

I didn't see the hype prior to reading this book so my review is not influenced by the media hype. This book was totally new to me when I walked inside Barnes and Noble. I was in there to browse for whatever new books they have and I just happened to see this book in one of their shelves marked Mystery/Thriller. I read the synopsis and I thought it was interesting. So I grabbed it ☺

Alicia is an artist who was convicted for the murder of her own husband. Because she had not, literally, spoken nor uttered a single word since after the murder, authorities deemed her mentally ill. So they put her in a mental facility instead of putting her in prison with other murderers. She was being treated by her psychotherapist, Dr. Theo Faber. The story rolled from there. I don't want to give out anymore details but to give an idea of what it's about, look up ALCESTIS.
