Release Date: 7th February (eBook)
Genre: Thriller
Publisher: Orion
*****
ALICIA
Alicia Berenson writes a diary as a release, an outlet – and to prove to her beloved husband that everything is fine. She can’t bear the thought of worrying Gabriel, or causing him pain.
Until, late one evening, Alicia shoots Gabriel five times and then never speaks another word.
THEO
Forensic psychotherapist Theo Faber is convinced he can successfully treat Alicia, where all others have failed. Obsessed with investigating her crime, his discoveries suggest Alicia’s silence goes far deeper than he first thought.
And if she speaks, would he want to hear the truth?
*****
I’ve heard this title mentioned by many of my most trusted book bloggers and the praise given it by countless successful authors in the genre has me madly anticipating it’s release. Apparently film rights have been snapped up already too! Definitely one for my wish list.
Have you been lucky enough to read this title pre-publication? Drop your review links in my comments, I’d love to see what I’m in for..
I’ve just posted my review (spoiler free) of The silent patient today 🙂
