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....
Alex Michaelides was born in Cyprus to a Greek-Cypriot father and English mother. He has a MA in English Literature from Cambridge University and a MFA in Screenwriting from the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. The Silent Patient is his first novel.
古希腊传说的现代演绎,年少时种下的因导致成年后的果,爱与背叛,以及第一次在欧美推理遇见的叙述性诡计。虽然明白真相的时候有些惊喜,回过头看故事其实很简单,也有不少多余的情节,关键是某个人做某些事的动机实在有点牵强。编剧出身的作者相当擅长营造气氛和画面感,有声书的演绎很精彩,弥补了节奏的不足。
评分3.5 给作者精湛的写作功底。
