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....
##Compelling? Yes. Convincing? Not so much.
评分##2019年goodreads犯罪悬疑类小说第一名,好像还是作者的处女作。故事吗,悬疑类我看的不多,我觉得还行,最后掀锅盖。 故事主要靠第一人称心理活动推进,辅之女主的日记,大量的对话,所以语言比较简单,适合英语学习。 有一些简单的心理学单词和概念,勉强可以算知识点。
评分##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。
评分##合上书的一刻,我默默地开始鼓掌……心理分析师Theo刻意接近“失声”的精神病患者Alicia,一个残忍杀害自己丈夫的女画家,他不顾一切地希望获得她的信任,让她敞开心扉,说出真相……这是一个把悬念和反转玩到了极致的故事,交叉的双重叙事成功吊足胃口,剧情在往事揭秘和更多谜团中紧张地推进,可以说不输【消失的爱人】。精神病院的氛围营造出的悬念和后半段的反转绝对超过【禁闭岛】带来的震撼。不要轻易打开,因为你会停不下来。
评分##a story about double infidelity; 精神治疗师与患者,童年创伤与成年行为,凶手与被害人,背叛者与被背叛者,日记视角与第一人称非正常时间线叙述
评分##Compelling? Yes. Convincing? Not so much.
评分##Alcestis这个古希腊悲剧的设定棒呆,揭露了关于Alicia的部分真相,又完全掩盖住了Theo这个部分。看书的前半部分感觉自己都要变成Alicia了,总觉得哪里不对,可是说又说不出来……到最后几章揭露真相的时候只有Bone-chilling能形容我的感受。看完以后就只想说:卧槽,我就说感觉前面哪里有问题嘛,原来是这样!!!!
评分##就这?相爱就要为对方去死吗?扮得一手好圣母
评分##BOTM拿到的先发版,一个周末就读完了。psychological thriller读得不多,这本给我了一种第一次读and then there were none的感觉。有些地方还是会很强烈的感受到是作者写的第一本小说,但是整体真的是很赞
