About this item:
The Silent Patient is a psychological thriller centered on Alicia Berenson, a famous painter who lives a seemingly perfect life in London with her husband, a fashion photographer. One evening, Alicia shoots her husband five times in the face and subsequently refuses to speak another word. This act of violence turns a domestic tragedy into a public mystery, leading to Alicia being placed in the Grove, a secure forensic unit. Theo Faber, a criminal psychotherapist, becomes determined to work with Alicia to uncover her motives for the shooting. His pursuit of the truth leads him down a complex path that challenges his own motivations. This novel is described as a mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy, focusing on the therapist's obsession with unraveling the mystery behind the silent patient.
