Silent Patient

The book's story progression kept me guessing and wondering what happened to Gabriel, the murder victim. The writing was engaging and characters are interesting. For that, I gave four stars over three as I was very excited to read the rest. Would have maybe considered 3.5 stars if it was an option.

The only complaints I have about it are that the "diary/journal" entries are written out more like scenes than a diary. Additionally, there are some information I am sure would drive those in the field of psychology mad, very slight story gaps that left me asking why something did or did not occur. These were minor things however IMO.

No suelo poner cinco estrellas. En muchas ocasiones, quizás valorando un poco el efecto psicológico, se debe al cierre, algo en lo que luego me topo fallan grandes libros. Parece que al final el autor no encuentra la manera de cerrar. Esto no le sucede a Michaelides, por el contrario.

Te atrapa desde el principio, pero casi al final, tras dejar que se arme una tormenta en tu cabeza con posibles desenlaces, da un giro de tuerca magistral. Sin ser experto en psicología y muchísimo menos en psicoanálisis, puedo decir que es un libro que maneja bien temas tan recónditos como es la psiqué.
