The silent patient.
In this book we follow 2 characters, Theo who is a psychiatrist who just arrived at a new facility, and we follow his most interested patient called Alicia.
Alicia's life seemed perfect until one day she shot her husband five times in the head. Since that horrifying day she has never said one single word and Theo wants to find out why, and how to get her to talk and open up.
He has a hard challenge ahead of him, will he be able to do what so many have failed to do?
Theo's life isn't going easy or straight forwards either, but he doesn't let that get in the way of his work.
I love how this book flipped back to before the killing in a diary of Alicia's, so we could see some of her thoughts and how her days were leading up to the killing of her husband.
This was such a good gripping book, trying to find and uncover what happened.
Omg the twist at the end I never saw coming. I had many thoughts and ways that it could of happened, how it went down, but how it ended shocked me as it never went through my mind.
An amazing 5 out ot 5 star psychological thriller book
