The silent patient by Alex Michaelides
I have mixed feelings about The Silent Patient. On the one hand, the writing is pretty average, the dialogue is often hokey, not to mention the tired old tropes around psychiatry and psychology. On the other, I seem to have read it in a couple of days and I genuinely didn't see The Twist coming. A Twist, yes. But not That Twist.
Psychological thriller for lovers of literature
Not only is this a murder mystery, it is a psychological thriller! The author references Tennyson, but also Sophocles and Euripides. The novel is set in Cambridge, in the fictional St. Christopher's College, so the references are not out of place. For me they enhanced my interest in the story!

This book, I am screaming WTF! joking I had my theories but yes this book is freaking amazing.. I started reading it last night and finished it today , soon as I got home from work. I am looking for other books by this author because talk about psychological thriller, this book really has you thinking what in the actually F. I don't even have words to fully articulate how much I love this book, and to my fellow thriller fans or psychological thriller fans this is a must read.
I am not even joking when I say I had like 4 or 5 different theories going on in my head, I did get one correctly but still by the time I got to the end my heart was racing so much I thought I was going to have a panic attack, one that I would be okay with.
I needed this 5 star read!!… (more)
