It seems like Alicia Berenson has the ideal existence. A well-known painter by trade, she is wed to a sought-after fashion photographer and lives in a stately home with large windows facing a park in one of London's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Alicia shoots her husband Gabriel five times in the face one evening when he arrives home late from a fashion assignment, and she never says anything more.
Because of her silence and reluctance to provide an answer, Alicia transforms a home tragedy into a mystery that captivates the public and makes her famous. Her painting becomes very valuable, and she, the silent patient, is placed in the Grove, a safe forensic facility in North London, far from the press and public eye.
Criminal psychotherapist Theo Faber has eagerly awaited the chance to collaborate with Alicia. His will to get her to speak and solve the enigma surrounding her husband's shooting sends him down a diversion into his own motives—a quest for the truth that threatens to overwhelm him.
In the startling psychological thriller The Quiet Patient, a lady commits violence against her husband, and the therapist becomes fixated on figuring out why she did it.
