Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. A psychological thriller and a mystery with a twist that will make you gasp when you find out. Well written and nicely paced. This is a first novel for Alex. It takes place in a mental hospital as a doctor tries to unravel the murder of a woman through the therapy of the person accused of the murder. This book, I am screaming WTF! joking I had my theories but yes this book is freaking amazing.. I started reading it last night and finished it today , soon as I got home from work. I am looking for other books by this author because talk about psychological thriller, this book really has you thinking what in the actually F. I don't even have words to fully articulate how much I love this book, and to my fellow thriller fans or psychological thriller fans this is a must read. I am not even joking when I say I had like 4 or 5 different theories going on in my head, I did get one correctly but still by the time I got to the end my heart was racing so much I thought I was going to have a panic attack, one that I would be okay with. I needed this 5 star read!! This was a fun book! I am not generally caught off-guard by a plot twist or surprise ending, but The Silent Patient surprised me. I found it odd that some people really did not appreciate the book for what it was; others, like me, raved about it. I sit in the latter camp. Every person has a breaking point, and every relationship is only as true as it is behind closed doors - what you see on the outside may not be what is really happening on the inside. If you enjoy a good psychological thriller, give The Silent Patient a go; it’s worth your time.
Meet the hottest-tipped debut novelists of 2019 The Silent Patient is narrated by Theo Faber, a psychotherapist determined to discover why Alicia Berenson, a famous artist accused of murdering her husband, has refused to speak since her husband’s death. The therapeutic setting was inspired by Michaelides’s own experience. “Therapy is very important to me and has been a major part of my life,” he says. Running through the novel is the Greek myth of Alcestis, and Euripides’s play of the same name. The Alcestis theme is perhaps one of the reasons that The Silent Patient is finding such traction both among early readers and the tranche of movie executives who fought to option it. With its story of female sacrifice and the silencing of a woman post-trauma, it feels highly relevant in a post #MeToo world. “It’s about silence as a weapon,” Michaelides says. “And it was very clear in my head when I was writing the book that Alicia was surrounded by these men who were imprisoning her. Like Alcestis, Alicia is trapped and she’s denied a voice. It’s a lifetime of being made to think that she wasn’t worthy, she wasn’t good enough, and maybe that’s something that a lot of women [readers] have been responding to.” The novel has already been optioned by Brad Pitt’s production company, Plan B, with Michaelides due to write the screenplay, a fitting circularity for a novelist who has spent the past 15 years working as a screenwriter.
