👍🏽Pick it: if The Sinner and psychology is your jam.
👎🏽Skip it: if you're looking for a horror, not cerebral thriller.

I pride myself in pegging the plot twist. Even the best of thrillers tend to follow a loose, but calculable trajectory. When I hit that plot point in Silent Patient biting my tongue on spilling spoilers, I gasped out loud. Not because it's a dramatic reveal, but because the author rolled out the climax patiently, which personally, made this thriller stand alone. I've recommended this book to several who will back up the hype.
