内容简介
······
Promising to be the debut novel of the season 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…
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….

评论 ······
悬念设置得很好，反转还是玩不过 Gillian Flynn 写的那几本，黑暗也不如Gilli大约听到一半我已经猜出大致方向了，最后大实锤落下的时候，可能是看了太多评论 hyped up 倒觉得没有这么震撼。
三天就断断续续读完了，上一本如此疯狂啃书的是丹布朗的《天使与魔鬼》。开头和结尾太精彩了，中间部分在费解和厌恶男主行为中略显呱噪的坚持着，最后结局让一切释然。非常完美的推理情节设计，读完觉得很爽。
前面慢慢听了很多天觉得很拖沓，但后面还是很精彩的！不像一般的thriller那么吓人，听了作者访谈他觉得更是suspense，也受到希区柯克的影响。
It's not bad, but not as good as people make it out to be.
