Summary of this Book...
Amazon:
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....

Fans of Psychological Thrillers
I especially liked...
-This is definitely a dark and twisted book. Lots of red herrings.
-Once I got past the first few chapters, it held my attention and moved quickly.
-The plot. I think it would be difficult to butcher such a great plot. Even though I generally don't watch movies based on books, I think a movie adaptation would develop the characters more and enhance the plot.
-The ending was shocking and satisfying.
I didn't like...
-It got off to a slow start introducing characters and backgrounds.
When I finished n/a this Book I wanted to...
This was pretty damn good for a debut book. I'm looking forward to his next.
The n/a of this Book...
