The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides



I was expecting great things of this thriller but I have to say I was a little disappointed. The premise is great. A psychologist (Theo) interviews an artist (Alicia) in a psychiartric facility to try and work out why she shot her husband but she hasn't uttered a word since the incident. Theo delves into Alicia's life, her friendships, her family, her marriage and her work. He meets with anyone he can to try and piece together her state of mind at the time of the shooting.

There are great twists but I lost interest in all the interviews Theo was conducting. I've given it 4 stars as it was good but, based on other reviews, I was expecting it to be outstanding.
