An unforgettable thriller. A mixture of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plots and Greek tragedy.
Entertainment Weekly
Impressive debut. with a climax comparable to the classic Agatha Christie mysteries.
Wall Street Journal
The Silent Patient is intelligent, imaginative and a wonderful read.
The Times (London), Book of the Month
Alex Michaelides has created a completely original psychological plot so unpredictable, so unique that it could have its own genre. I read the book in two nights, savoring every word, every grim encounter, every surprising twist.
