Review: Highly addictive, tightly plotted and very well written! - Compulsive is one word you could use to describe The Silent Patient. It is highly addictive and it really takes you into the minds of its characters and explores their psychology. Alex Michaelides writing draws you into the story as the protagonist, Theo Faber, attempts to break the silence of convicted murderer, Alicia Berenson who has been rendered mute for six years and has spent that time in The Grove, a psychiatric unit. Theo has become obsessed with her case, but can he finally be the one to find out what really happened the night she shot her husband dead? When an opportunity arises to join The Grove as a psychiatrist he jumps at the chance, determined to reach out to Alicia. I really enjoyed reading this book and I couldn’t wait to find out if Theo was going to achieve his goal. I think the anticipation of wondering if this was going to be the moment that Alicia spoke is what made most parts of this book a really intense read and Alex controlled this really well, it did keep me turning those pages, and reading onto the next chapter. There is some excellent character development here; we have Theo, who is mysterious and unnerving, and Alicia who I wanted to get to the bottom of, and find out what was really going through her mind the night she killed her husband, Gabriel. Like Theo, I wanted to drag the answers out of her and I couldn’t wait to see what she finally had to say. Although we don’t hear from Alicia, we do have her diary extracts, which again I raced through as I was reading as I tried to uncover what really happened. This is very much a psychological story, and the reveals that came at the end of the book left me thinking, whoa, and I had to flick back just to see what it was that I had missed but it definitely did make so much sense and the way in which everything was pulled together was very good. The tension is really turned up a notch in the final chapters. The Silent Patient has bestseller written all over it. It’s tightly plotted and very well written. I’m looking forward to seeing what Alex Michaelides comes up with next. If you’re a fan of character-driven psychological thrillers, then you should definitely pick up this book. Review: A good read set in a psych Ward. - This is a book about murder and psychological misdirection. It constructs a descent into the minds of the woman who doesn’t speak and the therapist charged with making her. The story begins as a quest for answers but warps into something more complex as therapy, obsession, and art blur into an unsettling picture. Why does her therapist only have one patient throughout the book, and why do they overlook his obsession with her? What’s the story? It was compelling enough to keep me reading. I’d have liked a more exciting conclusion and thought it was a bit safe, and I found the explanation of ‘A therapist understands this … and a therapist should see that….’ a bit lecturing. But overall, it was a good read. The novel plays with perception, and the narrative keeps the readers off balance enough to question what they think they know. I had two theories—both of them wrong. The final pages deliver the explanation we’ve been waiting for, and it all ties up nicely. I enjoyed it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 615,549 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 13 in Psychological Fiction (Books) 20 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) 24 in Thrillers (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (390,081) | | Dimensions | 16.76 x 2.67 x 24.26 cm | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1250301696 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1250301697 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | 5 Feb. 2019 | | Publisher | Celadon Books | ## Images ![The Silent Patient - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91lslnZ-btL.jpg) ![The Silent Patient - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NJqOGFPHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly addictive, tightly plotted and very well written! *by J***S on 9 February 2019* Compulsive is one word you could use to describe The Silent Patient.
