Synopsis:
"Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.
Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.
Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations―a search for the truth that threatens to consume him...." -Amazon.com
What I thought about it:
I’ve been letting my brain rest for a few days before writing down my thoughts. Ok—What a book! I am constantly amazed by the talent these debut authors have for their first novel. This is his first novel and I honestly could not find a single fault. First, add this to your TBR list right now. Second, choose it for your next book club book. Last, after you’ve done that, DM about it so we can talk. Ok? Ok.
Rating: 5/5
