Psychological thriller, anyone?

Famous photographer Gabriel Berenson’s murder is a classic open-and-shut case: his wife and famous painter, Alicia, brutally shot him in the face five times and hasn’t spoken a word since.  

Six years later, she is a patient at the Grove Mental Health Facility where a psychotherapist named Theo Faber hopes to help the still-silent Alicia. He isn’t completely altruistic though; Theo has been fascinated with Alicia, her work, and now, her silence for a long while. His desire to figure out her silence is nearly unbearable. 

The Silent Patient is fast-paced, with twists, turns, and bumps along the way. I personally didn’t see the ending coming (I love when that happens!), but believe that even those savvy readers who may figure it out will still enjoy the ride.
