"Although I can't overlook the significance of pages 17 and 18, I still think it will take me quite some time to get over the book as a whole."

"The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides is a psychological thriller about a famous artist named Alicia Berenson who has been convicted of killing her husband, Gabriel. The twist in the story is that Alicia has not spoken a word since the murder, leading everyone to believe that she is guilty.

Theo Faber, a psychotherapist, becomes obsessed with Alicia's case and is determined to unravel the mystery of her silence. As Theo delves deeper into Alicia's past and her life before the murder, he discovers a series of shocking secrets and events that eventually lead him to the truth about what happened on the night Gabriel was killed.

The novel is a gripping and suspenseful page-turner that explores themes of trauma, love, obsession, and the complexity of the human psyche. It has received critical acclaim for its intricate plot, well-developed characters, and unexpected twists and turns.

One of the greatest plot twists I have encountered!
I rarely consider re-reading books but this one has so much to take and keeps you guessing the whole time! I would absolutely read again!
