Review: Great read/Loved it - The Silent Patient completely lived up to the hype. The story is gripping from the start, with a slow-burn tension that keeps you hooked until the very end. The psychological depth of the characters makes the plot feel unsettling in the best way. The twist was genuinely shocking and not something I saw coming, even though I tried to piece everything together along the way. The pacing is perfect—just enough detail to build suspense without dragging. Once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. If you enjoy psychological thrillers with unreliable narrators and jaw-dropping twists, this is a must-read.
Review: A great twist - An enjoyable read. As the story picked up speed my reading time got longer! I couldn’t wait for all the questions to be answered and know what happened and why. It took me a little time to get into it but it hooks you quickly. It’s telling that it’s written from the first person perspective of the psychotherapist, yet the author notes it isn’t his story, it’s about the woman convicted of murdering her husband. As it turns out, it’s really a story about both of them. I will check out additional books by this author.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What a twister
*by J***E on November 9, 2024*

The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides’ bestselling psychological thriller, offers an intense journey into the depths of trauma, obsession, and betrayal. It tells the story of Alicia Berenson, a successful painter who is accused of murdering her husband, Gabriel, in cold blood. After the incident, Alicia becomes mute, refusing to speak a word about the murder. Her silence becomes a mystery that captivates the public and the media, earning her a reputation as “the silent patient.” Enter Theo Faber, a forensic psychologist drawn to Alicia’s case. Intrigued by her silence and determined to understand her motivations, Theo takes a job at the mental institution where she is held. His goal: to help Alicia find her voice again and unravel the mystery of what happened on that fateful night. However, as he delves into her life and psyche, Theo discovers that his own dark past and obsessive tendencies make him deeply vulnerable, and the line between therapist and patient begins to blur. Michaelides’ writing is atmospheric and gripping, layering suspense with carefully placed hints and misdirection. The novel’s pacing builds suspense beautifully, with short, sharp chapters that keep readers on edge. The narrative oscillates between Theo's perspective and Alicia’s diary entries, adding depth to the plot and a haunting quality to Alicia’s silence. One of the most notable strengths of The Silent Patient is its twist ending, which is both shocking and well-earned. Michaelides carefully constructs the story to ensure that readers are left reeling as the truth unfolds. This twist not only changes the perspective on previous events but also forces readers to question the reliability of the narrator—a hallmark of great psychological thrillers. Although some may find the characters slightly underdeveloped, particularly those on the periphery of the central mystery, Michaelides succeeds in making both Alicia and Theo complex and compelling. The themes of mental illness, trauma, and the search for truth are explored thoughtfully, though some aspects feel more surface-level compared to the novel’s twist-driven appeal. In summary, The Silent Patient is a thrilling read with a satisfying blend of suspense and psychological depth. Its success lies in Michaelides' ability to manipulate readers’ expectations, making it a highly recommended choice for anyone who enjoys thrillers with unexpected twists and complex psychological layers.
