Alex Michaelides is the author of the fiction novel The Silent Patient. My college roommate recommended it to me because it had a great ending. I agree. The ending was great. A famous artist, living in her house with her husband, shoots him 5 times in the face and then she never speaks again. She is housed in a facility for the insane and heavily medicated. A new psychotherapist, Theo, applies to her facility specifically to work with her. He wants to be the one to get her to talk. His techniques are nontraditional and reckless. He wants to know her motive so bad he can taste it. He is consumed by her motive. Makes me wonder which one of the two was insane.
