unprepossesing 's review for:

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
3.25
adventurous dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

SPOILERS: 
I think it is worth a read. I was entirely wrapped up within the book. Sometimes, I found myself a bit confused, especially with the ending. Not the ending, ending where the investigator comes in, but the main character, or well the other cast too. It could have been a bit wrapped up a bit better to explain the relationships or the WHY. I guess, in a sense, hurt people hurt people! 

For a bit, I found myself second guessing or believing what the plot twist was turning into, but not entirely mad behind it.
