The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

You begin this book with a knowing little smirk - I have read a lot of thrillers. I know what is going to happen. The story centers on a damaged woman who has killed her husband and is now lays mute in a psychiatric hospital and the ambitious psychotherapist who has just joined the team and wants to save her. As you race through the pages you begin to doubt your instincts - maybe she didn't do it, maybe the therapist is right and he will reach her and save her. This book will twist your insides into little knots trying to figure out who the victim is, who the bad guys are and who is lying. Her silence speaks volumes if you know how to listen. Prepare to put your life on hold until the last page. Solid twisty plot and perfectly paced- this one is going to be the hit of the new year.
