The Silent Patient

This is not the sort of book I generally read, however, there was so much hype surrounding it, I decided to check it out. Apparently it is the author's first novel. I thought they did a wonderful job of drawing the reader into the story and like many mysteries there were enough twists and turns to be interesting.

Character development is often something that new writers tend to gloss over and I didn't find that the case with Alex Michaelides. I felt as though the two main characters were fairly well fleshed out.

It's still not my type of read, but I would recommend it for someone interested in murder mysteries.
