The Silent Patient is a mystery triller which begins when Alicia is convicted of murdering her husband .One interesting thing is that from the time the cops arrived at her home, Alicia did not utter a word and has kept mute every since .

This served as proof of her mental instability and illness and so the defense of insanity works she was sent to a mental facility called the Glove for treatment

During their sessions, Theo senses that there is more to the story and begins to investigate. As he does, the ugly truth begins to come to life which threatens the peace they have grown used to.

A silent patient is an amazing novel which tells a wonderful story, it is well written and depicted and it brings you along every step of the way. You feel the rush of emotions of the characters of the book as it progresses almost as if you are the character. The plot twist was so incredible and unimaginable. It is so good as a debut novel. I highly recommend this book for mystery, crime and thriller lovers. I rate it 5/5🌟.
