The Silent Patient
by Alex Michaelides
Alex Michaelides's debut runs on one irresistible hook: a woman shoots her husband five times and then never speaks again. The Silent Patient follows the therapist who can't stop trying to crack that silence. It's a twist-engineered thriller, fast and clever, with an ending readers either love or see coming a mile off.
The Maidens
by Alex Michaelides
Alex Michaelides's The Maidens follows a grief-stricken group therapist convinced a Cambridge classics professor is murdering members of his secret society of female students, one Greek myth at a time, even though everyone else insists he's untouchable.
