Alicia Berenson is a sought after realist painter in London, but when she is found with her husband dead in their home the mystery of why she will not talk begins. 

I listened to the audiobook and I was pleasantly surprised by the narration. The point of view changes from Alicia's psychologist, Theo Faber, and her own journal entries. 
Theo is drawn to Alicia's story and applied to The Grove where she is committed so he can decipher why Alicia has remained silent since her husband's murder. 

Alex Michaelide's writing is encapsulating and keeps the reader guessing the entire novel. I truly did not have any qualms while listening to The Silent Patient and the mystery is in most ways so believable it will stick with me for a long time. This is a must read for anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers.
