4.5
This book has one of the best plot twists I’ve read in a while. “The Silent Patient” starts a bit slow but is still interesting as several conflicts begin to take root. The last 1/3 of the book will have you on the edge of your seat as everything comes together. If you’re a fan of somewhat unlikeable, 3D, and troubled characters, with a bit of a murder-mystery subplot, this book is for you!
Minor: Gore, Stalking, and Gun violence
