Book Review: The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A debut book by the author and a masterpiece of a work. Theo Faber is a psychotherapist and is trying to treat his patient Alicia Berenson who has gone silent after murdering her husband Gabriel. The story moves very slowly but the end is very nicely done. Highly recommended.
