"The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides

When you love someone with the kernel of your heart, your world revolves around them, and suddenly someone comes and shows that you were building a castle in the air. Your whole world falls apart. You realize you've chosen the wrong person for your love, sacrifice, and obedience.





Brief Summary

Gabriel Berenson was found dead in his house. He was shot several times in his face. The only suspect and witness to his death was his wife, Alicia, who never spoke again. A young psychotherapist, Theo Faber, is particularly interested in this case. Even after six years, when he looked for a chance to treat Alicia. But why is Theo so interested in this long-closed unsolved murder mystery? Who killed Gabriel, and why? The only way to get the answers is to dive into the pages of "The Silent Patient" by Alex Michaelides.


Things I adored

Thriller and suspense blended perfectly with the excellent writing style. The author shows feelings of betrayal, anger, and regret.


Could have been better

Being a zealous fan of thrillers, I was looking forward to reading this book. Maybe it was my high expectations that disappointed me. I found the progress slow, though steady. I don't enjoy slow-paced thrillers much. The occurrence of simultaneous events was somewhat obscure, which confused me in the end.
