|
Alicia Berenson writes a diary as a release, an outlet – and to prove to her beloved husband that everything is fine. She can’t bear the thought of worrying Gabriel, or causing him pain. Until, late one evening, Alicia shoots Gabriel five times and then never speaks another word. Forensic psychotherapist Theo Faber is convinced he can successfully treat Alicia, where all others have failed. Obsessed with investigating her crime, his discoveries suggest Alicia’s silence goes far deeper than he first thought. And if she speaks, would he want to hear the truth?

I literally devoured this in one sitting!
The twists and turns are brilliant. The author does an incredible job telling us a story about a woman who is committed to a psychiatric hospital for the murder of her husband. No one knows why exactly; she’s never spoken a word since. What secrets is she hiding? Did she really kill her husband? This book will keep you guessing until the very end!
This is a great debut novel by Alex Michaelides and I look forward to reading more of his books in the future.
