A review by evcellent_reads
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

 I think I may have over-hyped this one going into it. A lot of people had recommended to me as a really good thriller, and it definitely has its tense and discomforting moments, but it didn't give me the scary, psych ward spooks that I was looking for. 

I've also gotten way too good at guessing twists because I called who it was about a third of the way through. So, that kind of ruined it for me. 

All of that being said, I do get why people are so enamored with this book and I'd recommend it!
