Maybe it would have been interesting to find out more about Yuri in how he related to the patients than what we got in the novel. Patients are often taken advantage of and that is a theme of The Silent Patient. I’m not saying I wanted a patient to be raped in the book, but I felt like the theme of mental healthcare providers as having all the power could have done with some more insidious exploration. I wish that had been a little more explored because I think it could have worked well with the idea of the power people like Christian, Stephanie, and Theo have over the patients. Of course, that’s not what happened with Theo and Alicia at all, but I got the impression that Yuri would help a coworker rape a patient. It was something about what he said and the smile on his face. When he helps Theo meet with Alicia in private, I got the sick feeling that Yuri believed this meeting was sexual. Yuri is an interesting character in that he gives Theo the creeps.
Now, with that tidbit to tide you over until the spoiler section, I’d like to talk about some other things. All this is a lead up to the delightful fact that when reading The Silent Patient I only guessed the answer a few pages before the reveal. That was my experience when reading The Woman in the Window. In a novel, it is even worse, especially if I’ve guessed the mystery some fifty-odd pages before the reveal. It’s a lot harder to sustain that interest in a film, especially when they go about their reveals so slowly, trying to make it as dramatic as possible.

I have watched a lot of mystery television because I can sustain interest for an hour while still knowing the answer to the mystery, even with all the red herrings thrown up, but the actor you recognize theory tends to hold up on TV shows. I don’t read a lot of mystery novels or watch a lot of mystery films because it is typically far too easy for me to guess the answer to the mystery. I hadn’t finished it by the time it won this award, so I did not vote for it myself. The Silent Patient is Michaelides’ first novel and won the Goodreads Choice Award for Mystery & Thriller. The novel also explores Theo’s own psychological issues and is partly told from Alicia’s diary leading up to the murder of her husband. There, Theo faces internal resistance to his attempts to help Alicia. Instead of going to prison, she was committed to the failing psychiatric unit, the Grove.
Theo Farber, a talk therapist, who changes jobs to be able to work with the famous patient, Alicia Berenson, a painter who had shot her husband, Gabriel, several times in the face and then never spoke again.
