Least favorite of Alex Michaelides’ books. The characters weren’t very likable and there were storylines that made no sense in the overall story

(Ie. Henry). Also, I find everything with Sebastian implausible. A psychiatrist who is so wildly wrong about her husband?

This was definitely a good read, and I am glad that I picked it up. I do think that there were several red herrings in the story which by the end took away from the story’s impact. From my recollection, there were a few character storylines that were undeveloped and unresolved, which influences my rating. I would recommend this book to people who like mysteries and thrillers. My take away from this is reading classic literature, like the Ancient Greek tragedies, in the future.

I liked it. I feel like the author put a lot of red herrings in and it makes the reveal feel unfair. Not sure if that’s how it worked in the silent patient.
