Summary
'The perfect binge listen.' — Yahoo Lifestyle

Instant #1 New York Times bestseller.

The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive.

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....

More praise for The Silent Patient:

“Absolutely brilliant… I read it in a state of intense, breathless excitement.” — Stephen Fry

“Smart, sophisticated storytelling freighted with real suspense - a very fine novel by any standard.” — Lee Child

“The Silent Patient sneaks up on you like a slash of intimidating shadow on a badly lit street. Michaelides has crafted a totally original, spellbinding psychological mystery so quirky, so unique that it should have its own genre.” — David Baldacci

The book very well written and read by the narrator I listened almost non stop I did not find one element in the book slow or boring 5 stars Give this one a go You won’t regret it

Awesome book. That twist at the end was amazing

Profile Avatar Grace S. Apr 2019

I really REALLY disliked this book. The plot is hugely unrealistic and reads like a Hollywood script, the characters are one dimensional and unlikeable, and the writing itself is poor. After googling I discovered that the author is a film writer and that is exactly how this is written. While I enjoyed the female narrator and feel she did an excellent job, the male narrator puts on a suggestively unpleasant voice from the beginning. I had difficulty tolerating his obnoxious tone.

Profile Avatar Patty Oole Feb 2021

It has a bit of a slow start. The psychological mystery was enjoyable, but the ending was predictable and it didn't quite live to the hype.

I enjoyed this book very much. The twists are interesting and I love the psychological and artistic aspects of it, I wish more writers used them. The narrators did a wonderful job,and the change between the male and female voices were not so drastically different like some with one louder than the other and such. I can’t wait to hear the next book

This book got me through the holiday drudgery! Fascinating story artfully narrated…with suspense and clever twists.

Profile Avatar John S. Sep 2021

This book is so mundane and formulaic. I would put this squarely in the category of ‘attempted screenplay’, meaning it’s trying really hard to be a movie but just lacks all the depth and skill one requires. How does this get a single good review??

Profile Avatar MimiKS Nov 2020

I thought the book was ok but didn’t hold my attention. I had to rewind on occasion. I wouldn’t recommend it. However the narrator did a good job.

Profile Avatar Kathleen L. Mar 2020

The Silent Patient was simply amazing. I pride myself on being able to think ahead and figure out what will happen through to the ending. I am pretty good at it but Michaelides totally stunned me. I actually slapped the sides of my face “Home Alone” style. I had absolutely no idea where this book was going or how it would conclude. Beyond that delicious surprise, the book is well written, the narrators were very good, and I was so engaged in the story that I binge listened and finished it in less than 3 days. Then I went back to the big reveal and simply had to read that part again. It will be hard to pick my next psycho thriller because this one was so fabulous.

Profile Avatar Audrey K. Mar 2020

i enjoyed most of the book but was disappointed in the twist at the end. kinda made me roll my eyes at the whole story.

Profile Avatar Linda M. Mar 2021

I loved this book! The story is interesting from its beginning and leads the reader down all sorts of dead-ends (in a good way) and the twist at the end was totally unpredictable. The author creates very real characters, especially those of the "patient" and the protagonist. If you are looking for a story that carries you along and makes you want to know how it will end, this is for you; but it won't be the end that you may be expecting! Having two people narrate the story was a great idea. Both narrators were excellent.

Really enjoyed this mystery. Narrator was easy to follow.

This book just didn’t do it for me. I kept wondering who the killer was. When I found out...BAM the story ended. I felt angry with the subtle ending.

Profile Avatar Nia R. Jan 2020

I hate when male narrators pretend to be female characters, please hire women for women’s roles. The only female voice was grating, breathy land babyish, off putting. I liked the twist, but some parts just felt like overly long monologues.

Profile Avatar Camomilia B. Nov 2019

Reading it for book club this month. Maybe it is a British thing or a relic from when the author worked in a hospital, but no one in this book, with the possible exception of Bonnie, is even close to having borderline personality disorder. We have a good friend with it and can now fairly easily recognize it. I liked that the narrator read fast as I typically listen on VLC so I can play it at 1.3-1.8 speed.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2019

I’m not finished yet, I have about 3 hrs left. I find this book not very eventful and therefore not very interesting. I see numerous posts about the twists and turns, but I’ve yet to really hear much suspense. If it’s all at the very end, it is a long listen to only enjoy the ending.

Profile Avatar Brian A. Oct 2019

Slow, WAY to descriptive, the words “as if” and “like the” could be made into a drinking game in this book. I didn’t care for the dual narration, the man was ok, but the woman got on my nerves for some strange reason.

Profile Avatar Stephanie K. Jun 2019

This book was extremely slow to get going. I wasn’t interested until the last 90 minutes. And there was far too many holes in the plot to make sense. The twist at the end was good, but very unrealistic. So if someone can listen without thinking “That would never happen”, then they will do OK. The narrator had a lovely voice that was very easy to listen to. And thank goodness for that, because the first 4 hours of the story were painfully slow to keep going.

So, here's the thing about me. I enjoy being surprised. Got me a gift? Don't tell me what it is! Christmas presents under the tree? I don't shake them.

I honestly was really looking forward to reading this because of the hype. However, I should have listened to the bad reviews. This book was terrible. I had to force myself to get through it because I hate not finishing a book. It was boring, dragged on, and just not good. If you like slow, boring, put you to sleep books-go for it. Otherwise, trust the bad reviews-not good!

I initially started reading this book manually, but it was a little hard to get into. After the 3rd chapter I switched to listening to it on audio books. It was still a little different to get into, but I would say after chapter 5 it really got good. After that, I listened to it almost non-stop, finishing it on the same day I began. I look forward to checking out more titles by this author.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2024

Great listen! while I did feel like the ending became predictable by the middle of the books, it was a gripping and suspect list was long. I did feel there were a couple of loose ends not tied up, stories of side characters left unflushed out. That could be a consequence of having a self focused character center to the story. A recommended listen.

After all the hype about this book, I was really disappointed when I listened to it. I just wasn't engaged by the male narrator AT ALL, and the female narrator's voice and presentation didn't fit Alicia's vibe well in my opinion. Everyone has their own opinions, and I respect those who really like this. It just didn't work for me: not the plot, not the writing, not the narration. Oh, well...

This was a read for our neighborhood book club. I got about a third of the way through and had to stop. The narrator was good. I did pick it up a week later and finish. I strongly disliked the doctor from the get-go and was irritated about the little information on the main character. There was a time in the middle where I considered changing my mind about the doctor, but that quickly flew right back out the window. There was enough interest to want to know the full story line, but definitely wouldn’t recommend the book in general.

4.0 as a thriller a 3.5 for the resolution. The men are all self-centered. I pray that no one gets a therapist like Theo. He's new on staff and only works with one patient? I couldn't wait to find out what actually happened. 5 stars for Alicia and 4 starts for Theo.

Started this book right after listening to Mexican Gothic, which ruined the narration a bit.

I was pleasantly surprised that the book was narrated by two people from their perspectives (and both narrators were very good, was to listen to).

I really enjoyed this book. I drove Across the Country and this was my favorite book to listen to. It moved quickly through but still included lots of details. The story had fun twists and made my drive ho quickly. The narrators were both really good. They had English accents but were still easy to understand. Great book!

I haven’t finished it yet, but so far the book has so much suspense. The author craftily weaves the story together in such a way that your assumptions about the end change many times. I would have liked a little less profanity but that’s just me. So far it’s a great book. 10/10 read!

I loved this book. It wasn’t what I expected at all by listening to the sample but I really enjoyed it. Narration was great as well. I’ll probably listen to this one again in the future.

Profile Avatar Jules Jul 2020

Really enjoyed this book. Definitely surprised at the end. Both Narrators were great. I’ve listened to Louise Brealey before. Can’t remember which book.

Great story, narrator had a bit of trouble keeping accents consistent.

Profile Avatar Deborah S. Jun 2020

meh...i listened because I liked the female narration. plot was thin

Profile Avatar Gayle S. Jun 2020

I escaped into the story and my exercise walks became longer than planned. Poor dog.... Loved the narrator's rhythm and pronunciation.

For me, the ending was predictable. But it was a good read, nevertheless.

Very exciting. It kept my interest the whole time.

Profile Avatar Anonymous May 2020

Good reading (listening). Book was suspenseful and surprising. I would not have guessed the surprise ending. Very creative and clever. It got a little “far out” and unbelievable for my tastes but overall a good read!!

Great listen! This one kept me guessing throughout...and even when the ending was revealed...I had to think about it. The narration is superb and is captivating.

Wonderful read. full of suspense

Profile Avatar Jacqueline B. Feb 2020

took several weeks as I only listen on my walks with the dog. This is my 1st experience with a whole audio book. I have tried audio books before but the narrator always put me off. It was the narrator's voice that first drew me into this book. The book was OK but I felt the end could have shorter or even edited so the last passage at end could have been even more of a shock to hear.

Profile Avatar Zani T. Jan 2020

Good book. Nice twist at the end.

Excellent book! Enjoyed it from the beginning to the end!

Profile Avatar Kitty R. Jan 2020

great novel

Profile Avatar Dan M. Jan 2020

I enjoyed it and it was a good twist at the end - but I was thrown off a bit by the way he misled you by the time line. He writes the end as if things are happening in the present tense when it is really happening in the past.

Profile Avatar Shirley W. Jan 2020

Lots of twists and turns. Liked the male and female narration.

Incredibly slow. I had to start over three times and it was, to me, too boring to pay attention. Maybe I'll listen to it to fall asleep.

Profile Avatar Jamie D. Jan 2020

Absolutely loved this book. I was hooked from the first 5 mins. The ending was crazy

Profile Avatar Stacy P. Dec 2019

I purchased the audiobook and it didn't disappoint! The narrator did an excellent job of pulling me in from the very first page and holding me until the end. The story left me wanting more! Maybe a sequel, Mr. Michaelides!?!?

Profile Avatar Linda A. Nov 2019

Amazing book! Character development was rich; intertwining stories kept me on edge of seat. And then the end!! A must read!!

Profile Avatar William D. Nov 2019

I chose this book on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised. The story is engaging and I liked the suspense. I also liked the style of both narrators. I would recommend it.

Profile Avatar Duanae R. Nov 2019

This book was good. I didn’t see the ending coming. It definitely got better as the book went along. I think maybe it could have been a little better with a different narrator. I found the narrator to read extremely fast. I felt like he was in a hurry to get it read. I would still recommend this read. I did like it!

I loved this audiobook! It was engaging and kept me interested on my commute. Both narrators did an excellent job of switching tone for different characters and overall I found it to be a great use of time in the car. I don't think I would have read it in print - the audiobook is certainly the way to go.

As close to a perfect read as one can get. Know matter how good you think you are at solving and guessing the ending, you will never see this one coming. Ordered it as a gift for a good friend the minute I finished it. Loved it!

Profile Avatar Kimberly W. Mar 2019

LOVED, LOVED this book!! Honestly was looking forward to my commute to work just to listen to more! Great twist at the end and great narration.

Profile Avatar Andrea J. Mar 2019

I listen to this book on tape and it was riveting especially with the narrator’s ability to have different voices which really made the characters seem real and come alive. It is a very good whodunit mystery and I was surprised at the very ending which is exactly what I want when I’m listening to an audiobook. I 100% recommend this for anyone who wants a great reader to keep them occupied on a long drive or at the beach or wherever. Be prepared to not get much done while reading this book because you will not want to put it down. I promise.

Profile Avatar Laura N. Mar 2019

The book itself was very good: psychotherapy is a subject of great interest to me and I learned a lot from the insights of the main character. The twists were unexpected. I wasn’t keen on the narrators though, and found the male narrator’s attempts at portraying the different characters and their accents somewhat off putting.

Profile Avatar Sam B. Mar 2019
