Read Febraur 2019.
This is a fast read tale about a psychotherapist, who seemingly becomes obsessed with his patient - a woman who has not spoken since the murder of her husband.
The "silent patient" has been confined to an institution, after being found guilty of the murder, but did she actually commit this crime or not?
The story goes along at a good pace and has an interesting twist, that I did not see coming, which was a nice surprise.
However, sometimes a plot works better if the guilty party actually gets away with their crime, if they are being punished by the result of their actions anyway. I think that if this had happened in this book, it would have made for a more interesting ending here, although I am sure many would disagree (after all, should the guilty be allowed to get away with their crimes? Discuss...)
For me, the conclusion was too contrived and rushed, and spoiled the ending of the book a bit, but it was still a good read.
