While I liked the twist and how the story turned out, what I didn’t like was that there was really no way we could have figured it out. I love a book about a good obsession, and Theo’s obsession of Alicia is extremely compelling.
On the one hand, it was a very well-written book with great, well-developed characters. I wish I could say the same for the twist in The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides.

We assumed the movie was unfolding a certain way therefore, we disregarded all the things that pointed to a different truth. It was our assumptions that blinded us to what had been right in front of us throughout the story. Part of what made it so powerful is that all the clues were there the whole time. (As we have a strict “no spoiler policy” on the blog, I’ll refrain from saying what that twist is.) If you recall, in the movie “The Sixth Sense,” we’re hit with a powerful twist right at the end. 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…. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. 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. 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.Īlicia’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.
