Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. 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.

5 stars

Um livro sensacional. Uma história fluída de ler, instigante, que vai nos deixando curiosos página após página. Conforme lemos, vamos nos compadecendo da personagem Alicia e à medida em que nos aproximamos do final os acontecimentos são completamente inesperados. Ótima leitura. Não conhecia o autor e espero ler outras obras dele.
