![]() Speaking of said shocker – I want to talk about that a little bit since that relates to one of the things I didn’t like about this book. I love when the author is able to surprise me with a shocker and Alex Michaelides definitely delivered on that front. ![]() So the things that I liked about this book: (1) the premise definitely was a huge draw (2) how quickly the story progressed this was definitely a page-turner and (3) I love that I did not guess the twist. The pages of Theo’s perspective far outweigh those of Alicia’s, but not to the detriment of the story. The story is told from the alternating perspectives of Alicia and Theo Faber, the criminal psychotherapist who ends up getting a job at the treatment facility where Alicia is being treated, specifically so he could treat her. If she was a cold-hearted killer and shot her husband 5 times ( in the face), even if it was a crime of passion, why/how did she get caught? I mean, come on. How would that even work? Plus I was fascinated. I was hooked from the moment I read the synopsis and saw that she (Alicia Berenson) shot her husband in the face 5 times and then refused to say a single word about the incident thereafter. I’m going to go ahead and give this one 4 stars, which is kind of unusual for me when it comes to Mysteries and Thrillers. ![]()
