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.
Promising to be the debut novel of the season The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive…
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....
国庆期间,一天半把这本书看完了,做晚看到夜里2点。作者很聪明,最开始给你铺了一个很大的谜团,Gabriel被枪杀了,Alicia从此不开口了,没人知道那晚发生了什么。作为读者的我就一步一步跟随着作者去找寻答案。既然我已经开始了,我就需要知道答案。这大概就是人类的好奇心吧...

評分温馨提示:本篇有大量剧透(介意者慎读)???????????? 整本书以有关Alcestis的希腊神话故事结尾处的那句话But why does she not speak?就把读者带入一个悬念之中,紧接着就呈现Alicia的日记,怎么说呢,最开始读Alicia的日记时给我的感觉是Alicia有问题,尤其是她说她不能把她...
打包搬傢的時候,需要聽輕鬆一點的書,於是放下人類意識進化史,拎齣來這本thriller。感覺前麵鋪墊很多,最後結尾好多綫都沒接上,也就隻能當無腦消遣聽一聽……
评分如果喜歡看thriller,最後這個twist其實並不難猜。而且盡管作者有努力去justify,但人物動機還是完全不make sense。
评分3星半吧。故事還可以,有psychological thriller共通的優勢(情節抓人,讀起來放不下)和缺點(後勁小/值得迴味的地方少,甚至越迴味越不對勁),人物就差一些。如果讀一本書隻是為瞭那一個twist,無論讀的時候猜不猜得到,我好像都不太喜歡。
评分Brilliant!巧妙地利用瞭章節間的銜接和切換,混淆瞭不同故事綫之間的時間綫,成功保持懸疑和神秘到最後。看到後麵大呼“中計啦”的就是我。被糊弄瞭呢,卻又很開心,哈哈哈哈,怕就怕糊弄不到讀者的懸疑作品。用有句港劇常用颱詞總結就是——神又係你,鬼又係你!“Unexpressed emotions will never die. They are buried alive,and will come forth later,in uglier ways.”所以情緒一定要得到有效的發泄,屈埋屈埋就會屈齣病來。喜歡小說裏用的Alcestis這個冷門的希臘神話,不過拋開小說單從神話本身來說,我跟作者理解得有點不一樣,我理解Alcestis的沉默偏嚮於哀莫大於心死,而不是murderous rage。
评分起先聽瞭一個小時有聲書都準備放棄瞭,還好聽從建議改為閱讀。後半部分幾乎一口氣讀完。是不是我讀的懸疑太少瞭,這麼容易代入。一直在期待反轉然而還是震驚瞭。
