Title: The Silent Patient
Author: Alex Michaelides
Genre: Mystery, Thriller
Alicia seems to have it all: fulfilling work, fame, a wonderful husband, and a swanky house in the right part of London. When her husband is found shot five times and Alicia is standing over his body, everybody wonders why. Alicia won't say. In fact, she's no longer speaking at all.
Theo is a psychotherapist who is determined to break Alicia's silence. He makes a point to get hired at the mental care facility where Alicia is being kept. Having undergone years of therapy himself, he knows how therapy can release one's inner truth. Theo's enthusiasm appears to be a bit obsessive, though, and others are starting to notice...
This book has some twists and turns so it keeps the reader guessing. If you like suspense, this is a good story for you.
