Written by Alex Michaelides the book revolves around the story of Alicia Berenson ….It starts with Theo Faber a psychic therapist who is  keen to learn and solve  the mystery case of a women named Alicia who shot her husband six times in head and ever since that day she hasn’t spoken a word. All Theo wants to do is help her,why?!!! Will he be able to do so? Or will he get entangled in his own past?

My Thoughts-

Personally I am a big fan of psychological thrillers and Silent patient surely lived up to my expectations. When I first started reading the book I wasn’t quite impressed coz it was damn slow ,contained lot of unnecessary intro's( at least i felt they were) .

But after some chapters the story caught a certain pace and that was the moment I realized that there’s something mind boggling stored in  for me and I was right  ! the climax was just so astonishing. What surprised me was the second half of the book, kept me guessing what's gonna happen next . 

The authors' writing is definitely commendable....great work!! If you are looking to get out of a reading slump or want to start reading,The silent patient is a good start. Anyways the book will definitely keep you hooked till the end. So make sure you read this book…
