Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.

Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.

Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....

The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.

" Se eu me justificar, a minha boca me condenará "

O que falar desse livro ?
Muito, muito bom, daquele que nos hipnotiza, que fica difícil de parar de ler, onde nas pausas fiquei pensando na história kk
E a história ? A história é muito interessante, envolvente e com os seus toques de mistério. Não vou falar mais do que isso para não dá spoiler.
E o final ? O final fica com aquele ar de aberto, porém alguns minutos após o fim da leitura conclui que não precisava de mais nada, pois o que poderia ser acrescentado não iria mudar em nada a história.
Enfim recomendo e digo mais, não perca tempo vai valer a pena.
