Please.īuy online The Silent Patient from Amazon.The instant #1 New York Times bestseller. One thing to take away from this book is, you never know what other people must be going through in their life or what they must have gone through in their childhood.
The pace is good, and each character was given enough back story (and trauma) to make them relatable to the readers. The development through the timelines is commendable and I could not resist myself from re-reading the book after completing the final chapter. I loved the way how intricacies of therapy and the world of physiotherapy were laid out in this book.Īs a person with no formal education in this field, it was an adventure. The whole story had a bit of Agatha Christie’s ‘The Murder of Roger Ackroyd’ vibe to it and I couldn’t stop thinking about it the whole time. Alex also tried to include Greece and the Greek culture a couple of times, which I appreciate. Using a Greek tragedy to paint the story was an absolute perfection. So now I am worried, being a detective is never going to be a career option for me, because damn it, the climax hit me like a wrecking ball.
