Welcome to The Perfect Blend.

Can you ever be freed from childhood trauma? It's a great question and one that may or may not be answered in The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides.

This book is a contemporary psychological thriller that tells the story of Alicia, who killed her husband, Gabriel, six years earlier—and hasn’t spoken since. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who is determined to help Alicia as he deals with events in his own life.
