Alex Michaelides: The Silent Patient (2019) 4 stars

A Page Turner

4 stars

The book's story progression kept me guessing and wondering what happened to Gabriel, the murder victim. The writing was engaging and characters are interesting. For that, I gave four stars over three as I was very excited to read the rest. Would have maybe considered 3.5 stars if it was an option.

The only complaints I have about it are that the "diary/journal" entries are written out more like scenes than a diary. Additionally, there are some information I am sure would drive those in the field of psychology mad, very slight story gaps that left me asking why something did or did not occur. These were minor things however IMO.
