Welcome to the 91st Episode of the ABC Pod the Adult Book Club where we drink and we read things. This episode features The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. Discussion of the book starts at the 9th minute. Spoilers are between the 30 and 1:09 minute marks. We talk our lead point of view and what we liked and didn't like about his investigation into his patient Alicia and her silence. In spoilers we get into the big twist and if we had any idea that it was coming. We finish with our usual segments and a book that has been waiting on our shelves awhile for next time. Enjoy!
"A Paciente Silenciosa" é um thriller psicológico que gira em torno de Alicia Berenson, uma pintora de sucesso que, após assassinar seu marido com cinco tiros, permanece em silêncio absoluto. A tragédia transforma sua vida em um mistério que intriga a todos, especialmente o psicoterapeuta forense Theo Faber.Obcecado pelo caso, Theo busca desvendar os motivos por trás do crime e quebrar o silêncio de Alicia. Ele consegue um emprego no Grove, o hospital psiquiátrico onde Alicia está internada, e inicia uma jornada para compreender a mente da paciente.Através de sessões de terapia, Theo mergulha no passado de Alicia, revelando segredos obscuros e traumas profundos. Ele descobre que a vida da pintora era mais complexa do que aparentava, e que seu silêncio pode ser a chave para desvendar a verdade por trás do assassinato.Conforme Theo se aproxima da verdade, ele se envolve cada vez mais na teia de mistérios que cercam Alicia. A linha entre terapeuta e paciente começa a se confundir, e Theo se vê confrontado com seus próprios demônios internos.Apresentação:@liviamulderEdição: Lívia LeãoEmail: lihnumlivro@hotmail.com

Here are hot takes on why internal consistency is key to a satisfying read.Plus, is a ‘Slow Burn' Book Worth Our Patience? Not always, and we tell you why.And to wrap things up, Ramya reviews The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, a critically acclaimed Psychological Thriller with a major plot twist and many mind games.

Send us a textWelcome to Season 5 Episode 14 of That Pretentious Book Club! In this episode Gino and Wheezy discuss the absolutely gripping thriller The Fury by Alex Michaelides. This novel takes place on a private Greek island when an ex-movie star's spontaneous vacation is derailed by a shocking murder, told in a series of five acts by an unreliable narrator who--let's face it--we would all love to be friends with (at least for a little while). This story takes the locked-door-murder-mystery trope and turns it on its head for a high stakes, fast-paced, irresistible story rife with allusions to Greek mythology and reflections on the human condition.

Alex Michaelides has again written a complex novel with numerous twists and turns and a crazy ending. Ex-movie star Lana Farrar takes her husband Jason and teen son Leo to her private Greek island for Easter. Also included were friends Elliot and Kate, and housekeeper Agathi. The story is told by an unreliable narrator and unfolds across five acts - like a Greek tragedy. Just wait until the end! We enjoyed a 2022 Semeli Moschofilero and Sauvignon Blanc white blend that was vibrant and floral while discussing the colorful history of Greece, the mythology, and its wines. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/readingbetweenthewines/support

Rosario Raro se cuela siempre con habilidad en las pequeñas y grandes historias de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Fue así como entramos en la estación de Canfranc, y como ahora desembarcamos en Normandía con la reportera Martha Gellhorn, que colabora The Ghost Army, un ejército fantasma creado en Hollywood para engañar a los nazis. Prohibida en Normandía es una novela que nos ha encantado. Va ya por la segunda edición y comenzará su aventura internacional en Portugal. Jesús Carrasco llegó a nuestra vida gracias a Intemperie, una novela que fue recibida con un aplauso clamoroso de la crítica. El autor recuperaba el mundo rural, con una prosa original, donde se juntaban lo sencillo y lo lírico.Y el último texto que ha entregado a la imprenta es Elogio de las manos, premio Biblioteca Breve. En la sección de Audiolibros, La furia, de Alex Michaelides, al que descubrimos con una novela que nos impactó: La paciente silenciosa.Y entramos en la Librería Shakespeare and Company. Últimas recomendaciones:Libros de bolsillo, de diez euros para abajo.

Tune in as Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts) returns to 2CC for a review and recap of The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, the 2018 thriller novel that follows the twists and turns of forensic psychotherapist Theo Faber's mission to unlock the truth behind Alicia Berenson, the notorious painter who hasn't spoken even once after apparently murdering her husband years ago (yes, she's the eponymous “silent patient”). Talking points that Arthur and Andy bring up throughout this bookish episode include the noir vibe that runs throughout TSP, the despicable bigotry of J.K. Rowling, and frustrating misconceptions about borderline personality disorder and other mental illnesses.

After a quick treatise on the Murderbot Diaries, Sam's all jazzed up about the new release coming in February from Kirsten Bakis, who has taken 25 years to release a second novel after the revelatory "Lives of the Monster Dogs." A classic gothic tale, "King Nyx" is a creepy feminist text you need to read ASAP. Unfortunately, Hannah is less jazzed about the new Alex Michaelides, "The Fury," which Hannah found at times "unacceptable." Just how much unreliable narrator can one book have? And just how many islands are there in the world? Seems like every novel is set on one nowadays, including Rachel Lyon's "Fruit of the Dead," which is, like King Nyx, is on an island and features some Hades mythology. Maybe islands make things intersting, since Hannah thought "Mercury," set in middle America, was kinda boring, with not much happening. Is this only set in the '90s so Amy Jo Burns didn't have to deal with phones? It's unclear. Then we get into a bit of a grab bag, including a graphic novel in the Grishaverse; a new YA amnesia number called "That's Not My Name" that Hannah found satisfying; the new George Harrison biography; and a book by a fantasy writer called "Listen" about how and why we listen to music. Finally, we wrap up with a tease of Kelly Link's debut novel, which, WATCH OUT.
