A famous painter, married to the man she loves and living in an upscale locale of London life could not have been better.

The Silent Patient- SummaryĪ seemingly perfect life it is for Alicia. From here The Silent Patient embarks on a journey of guessing as to what could have gone wrong with Alicia and why she chose to be the silent patient. To break this silence and to help her out of the trauma is psycho-therapist Theo Faber. She chooses to stay silent trough the trial and thereafter when the court orders to send her to live in a forensic centre. The victim’s wife- Alicia Berenson is convicted of the crime.

A psycho-thriller with a fairly decent suspense, it turned out to be an enjoyable read for me. The Silent Patient is Alex Michaelides’ debut novel.
