The Silent Patient

Uhh. Well, Okay then.

This was my first mystery/thriller book that I've picked up since Gone Girl first came out. To say that I don't read too many mysteries would be an understatement. However, when I read the blurb it intrigued me SO much that I just had to read it!!! & I have to say that I'm very glad I did!

Now, since I don't venture into this genre too much, I had no clue whatsoever as to how the ending would play out. (I suck at that kinda shit anyway.) I've read some reviews and I saw that some people figured it out, while others were like me and didn't. But, a majority of readers absolutely loved this book.

I thought that this book was great! It kept me interested & on the edge of my seat most of the time. Books like this make me want to read more in this particular genre. The characters were strong, the storyline was strong, and the ending took me totally by surprise.

I definitely had the “OH FUCK” moment when everything was revealed.

This is a spoiler-free review, so I can't divulge why I didn't give it 5 stars. But, I will tell you that it had something to do with the ending.

If you're on the fence about reading it, I say give it a go. Everyone's different, so you might like it, you might not. It seems that most people do enjoy it though.

I listened to the audiobook version of this novel. Both voice actors were great! I really liked the woman, her voice was perfect!
