Alex Michaelides’ The Silent Patient is a woven thriller that delivers unexpected turns with impressive precision. The novel carries a subtle echo of The Yellow Wallpaper, incorporating themes of isolation and psychological unraveling into its suspenseful narrative. The story unfolds deliberately, keeping its secrets close until the moment of revelation, which, despite all the clues, I truly did not see coming. It was a surprising read.
