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....

the opening is too slow but the plots are super amazing. it’s a jaw-dropped kind of plot and to me, it’s a well-written book. the climax to the ending is a chef’s kiss.

PSYCHOLOGICAL SENSATION!

I heard lots of good things about this book and all of it was deserved. As soon as I started reading the book I knew it was going to be a good read. A good plot and great characters that you will find hard to put down. Six years ago a well known painter named Alicia Berenson murdered her husband and hasn’t spoken a word since. He was found bound to a chair with gunshot wounds to his face, and she was convicted soon thereafter. Alicia refuses to talk or give any explanation and Theo Faber who is a criminal psychotherapist jumps at the opportunity to work with Alicia. He is determined to get Alicia to speak of the murder and unravel why she shot him. This is an excellent debut novel by author Alex Michaelides, a psychological thriller that will keep you up all night wanting to finish it. The future looks bright for this author and I will keenly wait to read more of his work.

Wonderful

When I know there’s a twist, or if I see hints of something, I usually figure out what’s going on. So I entered this story in the dark, curious to find what I would discover.
