About the Book

The Silent Patient is the phenomenally successful debut psychological thriller by Alex Michaelides, an instant #1 New York Times bestseller that took the publishing world by storm upon its 2019 release. Alicia Berenson's life seems perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house 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. She has never spoken another word since.

Alicia's refusal to talk, or explain the crime she was clearly guilty of, turns a domestic tragedy into a national sensation, and shrouds Alicia in an impenetrable mystery she seems intent on preserving. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the chance to work with Alicia, determined to unravel the mystery of why she won't speak and, more importantly, why she committed this shocking act of violence against the man she loved. As Theo pushes deeper into her past, his investigation reveals a web of secrets far more disturbing than anyone could have guessed, culminating in an ending widely regarded as one of the most shocking, mind-bending twists in recent thriller fiction. Told through Theo's present-day investigation interwoven with excerpts from Alicia's own diary, the novel builds toward a revelation that recontextualizes everything readers thought they understood about both characters.
