“The Silent Patient” by Alex Michaelides has a cover that gives me the heebie-jeebies, and I’m not easily spooked. There’s something about the way the woman’s face is obscured behind what looks like torn fabric, or is it just a creepy veil? Either way, it screams mystery and perhaps a bit of a psych ward vibe. The title “The Silent Patient” implies someone who either can’t or won’t speak, which would be a real challenge for someone like me who can’t seem to stop talking. This book likely delves into the deep, dark recesses of the mind—probably the perfect read for those nights when you want to appreciate the sound of your own heartbeat echoing in the silence.
