The Silent Patient


 I should note I have read and watched many mystery stories like this. This is a book I enjoyed reading, not a hard read, but kept me interested the whole time. I especially liked the different point of views offered, from Alicia's point of view and from those the Doctor interviewed. I also liked the twist at towards end, but I saw it coming. Never the less I enjoyed it. I loved how the Greek Tragedy, Alcestis was weaved into the story with Alicia's.  I did not like the way every time the couple went to bed together it was "we had sex." There are very few people I know that would write that every single time. The author could have changed that up a bit since it was found in the diary of a female. The ending was interesting. 

I say overall it was a good read and had a few moments of pure curiosity,  and ah hah moments. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. 

4/5
