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.
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....

國慶期間,一天半把這本書看完瞭,做晚看到夜裏2點。作者很聰明,最開始給你鋪瞭一個很大的謎團,Gabriel被槍殺瞭,Alicia從此不開口瞭,沒人知道那晚發生瞭什麼。作為讀者的我就一步一步跟隨著作者去找尋答案。既然我已經開始瞭,我就需要知道答案。這大概就是人類的好奇心吧...
評分圖書標籤: 懸疑 小說 美國 audio Audiobook crime/mystery/suspense/thriller
三星半 喜歡敘事,日記體畫麵感很強,拍成電影應該很贊。劇情上看twist很好猜,但是因為男女主人設不夠豐滿,所以總體來說不夠convincing,總覺得少瞭點啥。
評分The most page-turning page-turner!
評分古希臘傳說的現代演繹,年少時種下的因導緻成年後的果,愛與背叛,以及第一次在歐美推理遇見的敘述性詭計。雖然明白真相的時候有些驚喜,迴過頭看故事其實很簡單,也有不少多餘的情節,關鍵是某個人做某些事的動機實在有點牽強。編劇齣身的作者相當擅長營造氣氛和畫麵感,有聲書的演繹很精彩,彌補瞭節奏的不足。
評分Satisfying story
評分第一次聽audio book, 朗讀效果超級好~女主的經曆加上對她狀態的描述讓人心裏很壓抑,最後的反轉又十分刺激~
