Alicia and her husband Gabriel were happily married for years, until one day Alicia shot her husband 5 time in the head. She hasn’t spoken since that happened, 6 years ago. Psychotherapist Theo wants to find out why this all happened, so he takes a job at the hospital Alicia is in.
I wasn’t sure about how good this book would be but it turned out to be amazing. Alex Michaelides manages to weave a story so clever and intricate, that there is no way to predict how it will end. Throughout the book I was trying to figure out the reason for Alicia’s silence. Did killing her beloved husband traumatize her, or is she simply insane? Although I thought that elements of the storyline were slightly cliché, the writing was so good that it didn’t bother me. I found this book very intriguing and is an amazing debut from the author. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in thriller and mystery.
