“We’re all crazy, I believe, just in different ways.”
Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband, Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.
Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychologist who has waited for a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him…
The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.
Read Alikes for The Silent Patient: The Maidens by Alex Michaelides; The Housemaid by Freida McFadden; Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney; The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen
